Psychologist lists 6 signs that it's time to break up

You meet someone new and he looks amazing. But after a few months or even years of dating, it changes. For some people these changes are minor. For example, you find out that he really doesn't like romantic comedies, or that he doesn't like his sister that much.

But for others, these changes are important and impossible to ignore. You start thinking maybe that was all the time, and you just didn't see the signs. Or maybe you are convinced that you are doing something wrong, and this is your punishment. Some situations are too critical to ignore. Know what they are:

1. You are being betrayed repeatedly: Some cases of isolated betrayal can easily be overcome by the couple. Some even consider something that can strengthen their union if it is overcome. But facing this problem repeatedly is a sign that the couple needs to end the relationship.
2. You are being verbally or emotionally abused: You are not abused only when you are physically assaulted. Insults, racial slurs, and verbal conflicts of this nature are also aggressions. It is a clear sign of lack of respect on the part of the partner. If this is happening to you, think about whether it is worth continuing to degrade.
3. He doesn't care if he makes you cry: If your partner is able to see her cry after verbally hurting her and doing nothing about it, he may not care that much about you.
4. You have to change who you are to be with him: In a relationship we always accompany our partner in a place or another that we do not appreciate. But make sure you are not changing to the point of not recognizing the person you are becoming. The person who is with you must like you for who you are.
5. Your affection is being misunderstood for lack: Everyone gets emotional from time to time. But emotions should not be viewed as weakness. It's impossible to get excited every second of every day, and it's pointless to try to fight it. It is important to be honest about your emotions and needs and to know that the partner will be there for you.
6. Are you afraid of him: Being with someone that scares you is not something you should endure. And most importantly, never blame yourself for the abusive behavior of the other.
