Relationships are meant to form a bond between two people but not all relationships bring happiness- some of them drain you physically as well as emotionally. If such issues are allowed to linger on for some time, they can cause serious damage to your well being. There are certain indicators that give you a clear sign that you should rethink about your relationship as early as possible. You can always sense that there is something wrong somewhere and that things are not working out somehow. Here are five such red flags that should not be ignored.
Lack of Communication – Communication is the most important factor that keeps any relationship alive. Does your partner avoid talking to you on important topics? This is a red flag that things are not normal in your relationship. Both people in a relationship should be comfortable sharing their failures and achievements with each other and if this is not happening, do something about it.
Love Bombing – If your partner is going overboard recently and showering you with love and affection to a point where you ignor everything else, it is something that you must think over. It is very easy to get carried away by such a shoower of attention, but keep your eyes open and act wisely.
Abusive Behaviour – Nothing can justify abuse, whether it is emotional, physical or sexual, so protect yourself if your partner displays such behaviour.
Opposite Lifestyles – How you spend your time and money is sometimes very different from the choices of your partner. For example, you might be a morning person who loves to get up early to enjoy sunrise, go for a jog and enjoy nature while your partner may like to sleep in after working till late at night. These differences may lead to frequent arguments and if you feel they are becoming unmanagable, it is a red flag that you need to address immediately.
Possessive and Jealous Behaviour – Over-possessiveness can be claustrophobic and if your partner is controlling every minute of your existence, you better do something about it.
Although relationships are very important but keeping your individuality intact is equally important and you should never forget this fact.
