There are some warning signs you should always watch out for when you’re dating someone, and one of those signs is selfishness. You’ll never have a beautiful long-term relationship/marriage with someone who’s selfish.
Once the ugly head of a selfish partner rears up, you’re bound to become unhappy and sad. Selfish acts always leave a sting on the affected partner.
These are some signs that show your partner is selfish.
1. THEY LET YOU DO ALL THE COMMUNICATION
When your partner doesn’t care too much about communicating with you and lets you do all the communication, that’s a huge sign of selfishness. Both partners ought to communicate with each other; it shouldn’t be down to just one person alone. After all, communication brings balance in the relationship and it’s a sign that you both care about each other.
2. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY
Selfish partners will try to make you feel guilty even when they are wrong. They will do something wrong and expect you not to complain about it.
3. YOU SHOW ALL THE COMMITMENT
When you tend to show all the commitment in the relationship, while your partner is nonchalant, then you are in a relationship with a selfish partner. One can even doubt your partner’s love for you in this situation.
4. YOU BEG FOR ATTENTION
Attention makes a partner feel worthy; it makes you feel loved and valued. However, when you have to beg and demand attention from your partner, then it’s probably not a good relationship to be in, and your partner is being selfish and doesn’t really care about your feelings.
5. YOU’RE NEVER LISTENED TO
It’s a beautiful thing to have a partner who listens to you; it’s a sign of love and respect and also an important part of communication. However, when your partner wants you to listen to him/her and you aren’t being listened to in return, that’s selfishness.
6. YOU ARE ALWAYS CRITICISED
A partner who always criticises you and never appreciates you is a selfish partner. While you might have your weak points, you definitely have your strong points as well, and a good partner will appreciate your strong points.
7. YOU’RE CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF YOUR PAST
It’s selfishness for your partner to use your past mistakes to haunt and taunt you at the slightest instance. Any partner who always brings up the past lacks the ability to forgive and let go of things, and it’s unfair to make you feel bad about things that happened in the past.
People tend to care less about how selfish their partner is, and don’t pay attention to it. But more often than not, they tend to regret this when the relationship advances.
