No one deserves to be taken advantage of, over-ruled or degraded. If your significant other is constantly tearing you down and causing you to dwell on negative emotions, leave the relationship.
You deserve the best. If your relationship contains any of these 6 signs, seek help and get out of your relationship… fast!
1. Unequal blame
Do not allow your partner to use you as their scapegoat. Never allow them to place all of the blame for your relationship problems on your shoulders alone.
2. It is all about your partners needs
Does your partner ever call to ask how your day went? Do they go out of their way to make sure you are genuinely doing OK? Do they ask you about the small details about your life? If your partner is constantly consumed with their life and their needs, proceed with caution. A partner that does not concentrate equally to both individuals in the relationship will likely not change their priorities down the road.
3. You put in more effort
Ever noticed that things are unequal between the two of you? The amount of money spent, time invested and resources divided always seems to be a little heavier on your side of things. If your partner requests your help, time and energy, you should feel comfortable enough to ask for the same things in return. If you are giving all you have and not receiving anything in return, it’s time to leave.
4. They don’t do the small things
A man who cannot recognize the smallest things that make you happy is not invested in your happiness and the long-term longevity of your relationship.
5. Emotional ʙʟᴀᴄᴋᴍᴀɪʟ
Do they threaten you, intimidate you and shame you? If the answer is yes, seek help. A partner that uses this technique will often say things like, “I cannot survive another day if you leave me,” or “I can’t believe you would do such a thing, I thought you were better than that.” These passive aggressive ʙʟᴀᴄᴋᴍᴀɪʟ comments can turn to fits of rage that you shouldn’t stick around for.
6. He doesn’t say things straight
Constantly avoiding topics in conversation is not a good sign that your partner is being honest. A strong relationship is centered on strong communication between the two of you. If they are avoiding serious topics or not telling whole truths, call them out on their lies. Decide to build a foundation of solid communication or leave to find someone who will be honest.
