A relationship is all fun and games until you don’t even realize you are slowly slipping into an unhealthy relationship. A man does not have to raise his hand and hit you before you realize that your relationship is not good for you.<\/p>\n
There are many telltale signs of an unhealthy relationship that people overlook because they are in love. Literally, too many warning signs these days gets blamed on the ‘passion’ and the ‘heat of things’. But as we grow older we need to become better and more alert to some relationship red flags and how to handle them.<\/p>\n
The truth is, no one thinks they’ll ever be in an unhealthy relationship and as a result of this, they are ill-equipped to handle it when it stares them in the face. Because we don’t want you to be that person, here are five ways of knowing if you’re in an unhealthy relationship.<\/p>\n
It’s easy to miss the signs when your partner uses kindness as a weapon of manipulation. They do extravagant things that will normally be considered as romantic, so you feel indebted to them.\u00a0They paint the ‘hero’ portrait quite well so they become your go-to person when you’re in a bind.<\/p>\n
Most times this might be misconstrued as romance; however, you only need to trust your gut to know when something isn’t right and well-intentioned. If your gut tells you that his\/her kindness isn’t born out of the best intentions, trust your instincts.<\/p>\n
If they constantly lord their ‘good deeds’ over you, reminding you of all the ways they’ve helped you out while you’ve been together – see that as a\u00a0major sign that you’re in an unhealthy relationship.<\/p>\n
