1. Your partner is your harshest critic.
This one is a very troubling sign. It can be closer to bullying than it is to playful good fun if your partner throws you insults jokingly. It’s a signal that your partner does not have your best interests at heart.
2. You need to change who you really are to keep your partner satisfied.
Let’s be straight. If you can’t be authentic with your partner and accepted for who you are, what is the point of the relationship?
3. You can’t picture yourself with them in your favorite place, doing your favorite things
It can indicate that your relationship is experiencing issues and pressures at one point or another, or even worse, you’re not that much into them.
4. Your partner is never going to put in effort needed to be with you
Everyone is busy with their own lives, but ask yourself, have your partner ever made an effort to include you in his/her world even if he/she can’t see you right now. It’s all about priorities.
5. Your partner’s insecurity leads to controlling behaviors
A healthy relationship doesn’t require “check-in’s”. There is a huge difference between saying, “I worry about you on the bus late at night” and, “I don’t want you going out at night without me”.
6. You don’t share a sense of humor
Here is an example. ”We were in the car and I told a hilarious joke. So funny, I was laughing at it myself. He looked over at me super serious and said, ‘You know, I really don’t think you’re that funny’.”
7. They always play the blame game
Imagine that your partner keeps blaming you on small things and doesn’t want to take responsibility for his or her own part in arguments, how would you feel? Upset, frustrated or angry? Keep this in mind that a healthy relationship should never be based on any of these feelings.
8. Your personal goals are at odds
Long-term relationships between two people who don’t ultimately want the same outcome is just asking for heartache. — Brenda Della Casa.
