No one wants to waste their precious time dating the wrong person. Many people are in a relationship with the wrong person without even knowing it. So how do you know you are not investing time in the wrong person?
Below are 10 signs you are in a relationship with the wrong person
1. YOU ARE ALWAYS UNHAPPY
Even though we are responsible for our happiness, we also expect our partner to make our days a little brighter and not making it worse. You are definitely in a relationship with the wrong person if you are unhappy most times you are with your partner. Moments with your partner should bring joy and not sadness.
2. YOU CAN’T EXPRESS YOURSELF FREELY
You are definitely in a relationship with the wrong person if you can’t express yourself freely by being who you truly are in that relationship. It’s wrong to always watch what you say or how you act because you have a partner who is very critical of you. When you are in the right relationship, you feel completely relaxed with your partner but when you are dating the wrong person, you just never feel completely relaxed when with your partner even after being in that relationship for months.
3. THE FRIEND FACTOR
You are obviously in a relationship with the wrong person if you don’t really want to introduce your partner to your friends. Another sign that you are in a wrong relationship is if your partner never brings you around his or her friends. If your close and trusted friends aren’t really comfortable with who you are dating and always express concern about your relationship, you just might be dating the wrong person.
4. YOU ALWAYS FEEL EMOTIONALLY DRAINED
You are definitely in a relationship with the wrong person if your partner always has something to complain about. When you feel like being in your relationship is a struggle and being with your partner leaves you emotionally drained most times, you are in a relationship with the wrong person.
5. YOU AND YOUR PARTNER HAVE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES
Compatibility is an important ingredient every happy relationship has so if you are not really compatible with your partner, you are definitely in the wrong relationship. Being with someone you have lots of fundamental differences with makes the relationship a hard work.
6. YOU DON’T IMAGINE A FUTURE TOGETHER
If you can’t imagine a future with your partner, it’s obvious you are dating the wrong person. After being in a relationship for a period of time, it’s really normal to imagine a future together as a couple. If you don’t think about what the future might be like as a couple even after dating for a while, it’s time to ask yourself tough questions about your relationship.
7. YOU’RE NOT EXCITED TO SEE OR HEAR FROM YOUR PARTNER
When seeing your partner or calling your partner is like a routine to you and not something you are excited doing, then you are in a relationship with the wrong person. Being in a relationship should be fun and not just another chore. It’s not always going to be sunshine in your relationship but when you are in the right relationship, you feel happy to see your partner most of the time.
8. YOUR INSTINCTS TELL YOU SO
Your instincts are there for a reason and when your instincts tell you that you are in a relationship with the wrong person, you really should take that seriously. Don’t ignore the red lights your subconscious is warning you about.
9. YOU DON’T FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF
If being in that relationship destroys your confidence and makes you doubt yourself, you are probably in a relationship with the wrong person. When you are in a good relationship, you should have a positive self-esteem.
10. THE DISADVANTAGES OF STAYING TOGETHER OUTWEIGHS THE ADVANTAGES
If the disadvantages of staying in that relationship outweigh the advantages, it’s quite obvious you are in a relationship with the wrong person.
So do you think you are with the wrong person?
