Can you share your feelings openly, or does every comment make them defensive? If they dismiss your concerns or blame you for feeling this way, they may be avoiding responsibility. A loving partner will acknowledge their faults and work on them with you, instead of deflecting and making you feel guilty.
Number 7: They Don’t Respect Your Boundaries
Have they repeatedly crossed lines you’ve clearly set? Dismissing your boundaries or joking at your expense suggests they’re prioritizing their wants over your feelings. Pushing you into things you’ve said no to reflects a disregard for your autonomy.
Number 8: The Relationship Feels Stagnant
Relationships should grow and evolve, even as you settle into comfortable rhythms. If things feel stagnant or lack progress—like avoiding commitment despite years together—it might be time to question their intentions.
Recognizing these signs can help you understand whether you’re being loved or used. If you resonate with any of these, take the time to assess your relationship and consider what you truly deserve.
Sharing is caring!
