How do you know you are forcing a relationship?

1. Your partner has repeatedly lied and betrayed you, but you keep justifying their actions. Giving them chance after chance believing they will change.

2. You begin dreading seeing them. You will make excuses to spend less and less time with them.

3. You are disgusted by their character and morals, but you push it into the subconscious, again, waiting for them to change.

4. You partner causes more anxiety than happiness. What they once were no longer exist.

5. The trust is gone, you don’t value their input or believe the person they try and portray outside the relationship.

6. You pretend to be interested in their life, day and their interest. If they “tune” out when you are talking something of interest.

7. A potential future with them doesn’t excite you. Instead it is filled with anxiety and worry.

8. If you no longer enjoy each other’s company. The laughing, intimacy and friendship is gone.

9. You don’t want them around friends and family because of past issues. You use to always want them around and speak highly of them, until……

10. You are constantly trying to fix them and wait for a miraculous “awakening.” Waiting for someone to change their destructive ways is a waste of time and energy. The only person you can chance is you.
