If you are put down more often than built up, especially in front of others, this shows blatant disrespect for you. Teasing in moderation is always fun, and a good way to teach you to laugh at yourself. But when it becomes insulting, it’s not fun and it becomes hurtful.
All relationships tend to start off with a lot of love, passion, and respect. It’s only after couples have been together for a while that things can go downhill because the real traits of people begin emerging. As a result, some couples split up and go their own ways to find a better life with someone more suited. Sadly, some people decide to remain in a relationship that is not working because they don’t know how to leave or think it will get better.
Here are five signs that your relationship isn’t working:
You Are Cheated on
This is something that many men and women continue to tolerate even though it’s one of the most hurtful and disrespectful things that someone can do to them. People choose to turn their backs on the situation or they simply decide to stay in the relationship even though it’s pretty obvious that it’s not a loving and devoted one on both sides.
Friends Always Come Before You
Friends are great for everyone to have and it’s healthy to balance a relationship with friendships and merge them together. But if your partner is constantly blowing off spending time with you in favor of spending time with friends, this is not a healthy sign of a good relationship.
Disrespect
If you are put down more often than built up, especially in front of others, this shows blatant disrespect for you. Teasing in moderation is always fun, and a good way to teach you to laugh at yourself. But when it becomes insulting, it’s not fun and it becomes hurtful.
Physical Abuse
If this is happening to you, it’s time for you to move on. Nothing is worse than this because you can become severely damaged or worse when you’re physically abused. Don’t ever stay – it’s wrong and dangerous.
These are just some of the signs to be on the lookout for if you aren’t sure whether or not your relationship is working or not. And unless you decide to stand up for yourself, it probably won’t continue to work, and you’ll never be as happy as you could be.
