Recently I had a conversation with someone about relationships and balance. They were flustered because they felt like they were the only one in the relationship. As I listened, I quickly could relate to their feelings.
The first one might not seem like a huge deal, but if you are the only one in the relationship taking pictures of the two of you as a couple 🚩#1.
If you’re the only one in the relationship who plans vacations, date nights or anniversaries 🚩#2
If you’re the only one to initiate intimacy 🚩 #3
If your partner ignores your feelings and try’s to explain away your thoughts as paranoia, silliness or stupidity 🚩 #4
If your partner only shows interest in you when someone else shows interest 🚩 #5
If your partner never asks you to go places with them 🚩 #6
If your partner ignores your personal preferences and insists that you try food, drinks or activities that they want 🚩 #7
If you buy your partner gifts and surprise them, but you have to tell them what you want and order it yourself 🚩 #8
If they are always focused on their needs (financial, medical, emotional or physical) and continually forget yours 🚩 #9
If you find that you have spent years forgiving this person for hurting you, but they expect you to be perfect 🚩#10
These are just a few of the red flags I could relate to during the conversation. It is hard to be in a relationship where you feel alone. You deserve better, and you do not have to accept this behavior as the typical norm!
