It is not always easy to be in a relationship, but it should be a pleasant and fulfilling experience that your partner supports and embraces. New relationships are very exciting, with the person who likes you back is sometimes even magical! There is a time to get to know each other on dates. As you learn about your partner, you are aware of unhealthy behaviors. While sometimes everybody is doing unhealthy things, we can all learn to love better by recognizing unhealthy signs. You mustn’t ignore and understand unhealthy signs in your relationship that may spiral into violence. 

Top Signs of an Unhealthy Relationship

Both people should feel comfortable and safe, to be honest with each other in healthy relationships. Healthy relationships are rooted in equality, trust, and mutual respect where the values and limits of both people are respected. One person has power and control over the other in unhealthy relationships. You can be jealous or possessive and not comply with your limits. Sometimes people don’t know if they have a healthy relationship or not. A list of signs of an unhealthy relationship is provided below:

• Your personal development in the relationship cannot flourish
• You feel that your life is swept away from you
• That’s not your whole fault if they don’t get it!
• Conflict and discussion continue to emerge
• One person has the greatest power over you both
• The negative is not changing into the positive.
• The need is confused with the love
• If the team loses, they get lost
• You don’t feel better about yourself
• The focus is on the other person’s change
• You get lost trying to find another person.

Your personal development in the relationship cannot flourish

Whereas healthy relations offer safe havens for personal growth, people who feel they need to sacrifice their growth and happiness to survive often find themselves wrongly in the love tunnel.

You feel that your life is swept away from you

Have you ever heard of vampires getting emotional? These unspeakable characters thrive while absorbing other people’s energy and life. If you feel like you are in a relationship that drains your energy and makes you feel tired and spent, it’s time to move out from that relationship.

That’s not your whole fault if they don’t get it!

You don’t expect the light bulb to turn on when you’re involved with someone who tends to blame you for their anger and problems and spend too much energy defending or trying to understand. It’s just going to dim yours instead. Nobody can make sense out of nonsense, after all.

Conflict and discussions continue to emerge

Conflict, struggle, blame, and lack of forgiveness in a relationship may be called disaster relations. Recall that two people argue, and the unreasonable behavior of another person is never an explanation. Arguments are like the carnival toy of Finger Trap: the more each side is pulled, the more trapped they are.

One person has the greatest power over you both

Besides the power of love, does your loved one have too much power over you? A sure sign of being in an unhealthy relationship is that someone has more power over you than yourself. No one has power over you if you don’t give it to them!

The negative is not changing into positive

Unhealthy relationships are full of negative effects and bring the worst out in people than the best out. Put-downs and insults are all examples of emotional abuse and should never be tolerated. Nobody should be treated like this, and no excuse should ever be made for anyone who treats you like this.

The need is confused with the love

Look for ownership and jealousy, as the signs are more of someone in need than of love. If “what you can do for me” depends on someone’s love, realize that the two of you could never have enough space. You may believe that it is a warning sign that there is more trouble ahead if there is no basis for faith in your relationship.

If the team loses, they get lost

People who believe they are in love could be more enthusiastic. How do you know? When times get tough, one sure sign is that the hard way is going. It’s easy to be part of a winning team, but time doesn’t go so well that the depth of a relationship is revealed. There is less information about what someone can do for you and more about what you can do for others, especially in difficult times.

You don’t feel better about yourself

Watch for a relationship that doesn’t make you a better version of yourself. It might be time to shed the relationship if it makes you feel worse and less comfortable in your skin or body! Mature relationships are based on acceptance and not judging how someone else thinks the other one should be.

The focus is on the other person’s change

In unhealthy relationships, the focus is not on changing yourself but on changing others. You won’t try to mold someone into your ideal person in a mutually respectful relationship. It becomes more about you than the other person, and it’s more like a recipe for chronic relationship unhappiness. When you do that, People are respected for who they are and are not “projects” for anyone else in healthy relationships.

You get lost trying to find another person

Finally, make sure that in trying to find somebody else, you don’t lose yourself. You need much more of yourself, however much you may think you need someone else. There’s, therefore, a time to get out of the relationship boat before you sink if you find yourself in the relationship to stunt your growth and only survive at the expense of your survival!

Conclusion

All relationships have good times and bad, but what matters is that you’re treated in the same way as you treat your partner; otherwise, you can’t have a healthy relationship. You should get out if you think you are in an unhealthy relationship. If you need assistance in ending a relationship, carefully notice each of the signs of an unhealthy relationship, and do what you need to do further.
