When it comes to relationships, there is no golden rule or guide to follow. No one can help you choose between being together, being yourself, being the victim, or being happy. Only you can decide whether to end a relationship or fight for it.
We found these 8 characteristics of a dead end relationship. If you can identify with any of these, finish it ASAP.
Reasons to end a relationship
8. You are not happy in your relationship
If you often feel unhappy, uncomfortable, stressed or even overwhelmedIt is the first and foremost sign that you are in a destructive relationship with no way out.
Be honest with yourself and admit that you are in a “toxic” relationship. Try to identify what “benefits” that relationship brings you.
For example, it saves you from the fear of loneliness, or you are very afraid of being alone and you like to depend financially and emotionally on your partner.
7. You can’t be yourself when you’re with your partner.
When you’re with the “right” person, you don’t have to fake anything: you can just be yourself. You can be silly and clumsy and not feel guilty about it. When they are together, they naturally behave as if they were alone.
If you have to call on your acting skills too often in your relationship, you deprive yourself of the experience of being authentic, which prevents you from developing your relationship.
6. Your partner is too controlling
Be careful if your loved one is spying on you, monitoring your phone conversations, social media, and email, wanting you to share everything with them, and even demanding that you hand over your salary.
These partners simply pretend to be loving and affectionate. In fact, they take full control of your life in the form of emotional abuse and invade your personal space. This is unacceptable in a relationship.
5. You live in isolation
Is your loved one trying to isolate you from your friends and family, forbidding you from using your phone or car, or maybe even preventing you from finding a good job? These are relationship red flags.
It is a form of domestic violence that leads to psychological and economic dependence on your partner.
4. Your partner is too jealous
You are dating an overly jealous and possessive fan if he causes big scenes in public, monitors your calls, uses social media, etc.
You have to realize that you don’t love yourself. It is a form of psychological abuse and should not be ignored.
3. Your partner always underestimates you and your achievements
It’s time for you to go if you often hear from your partner that you are an ordinary person with moderate achievements.
They are trying to convince you that no one will ever like you, but the worst thing is that you start to believe that it is true.
It’s your partner who needs help, not you! Apparently, your emotional handler has issues with self-confidence and tries to boost your low self-esteem by putting you down.
2. It is almost impossible to plan your future together
What are the main characteristics of a functional relationship? Mutual trust, a sense of security and plans for that distant future together.
Everything is different in an unhealthy relationship: you don’t even have any short-term plans, and you are trying to find an excuse to explain why you are still together.
If you never talk or can never think about your future, it’s one of those signs that you’re in a toxic relationship that’s going nowhere.
1. Your partner always tries to make you feel guilty.
Your partner always tries to blame you for what happens in your relationship. As a result, you often feel like you need to explain something, even though you shouldn’t.
Your skilled manipulator doesn’t want to take responsibility. He or she will do anything to make you feel guilty, thus achieving your own goals.
