He gets jealous (and not in the cute, protective way).
Its natural to get a bit territorial and sometimes a little jealousy even makes you feel valued.
But when the jealousy goes from territorial to straight ownership, its not cute, its controlling.

He was using my eyes to see his own reflection so he could fix his hair.
At that point I knew we were over, but it didnt end there.
Here are six signs youre in a toxic relationship.
Artsy Vibes
He compares you to other girls.
I thought he was too good for me.
A big red flag was the way he would compare me to other women,especiallyhis exes.
I was dissected about everything, from my clothing to my body.
You dont feel like you are a priority.
What really hurt me in my relationship was the fact that I was a second choice to him.
He would never choose me if it somehow didnt benefit him.
No matter what I did to make him happy, I was never treated like a priority in return.

But when the jealousy goes from territorial to straight ownership, its not cute, its controlling.
My ex tried to control my every move and made me feel like I needed permission to livemylife.
He would read all my texts and needed constant updates on where I was and what I was doing.
I missed out on a lot of opportunities because I just wanted to avoid the argument.
If I did decide to go out, he always had to join.
I never had any time to myself, which ended up making me dependent on him.
He is all words with no action.
He would deliberately hurt me and then blame it on me or that he was being naive.
It became a pattern.
I would feel devastated and he would console me with his words, but his actions never changed.
You shouldnt be with someone who cant keep their promises.
He disrespects your parents and friends.
Its hard to believe, but your parents do know best.
If your parents and best friends come to you with issues about your man, listen!
Sometimes when youre caught up in the relationship, you could be oblivious to red flags or emotional abuse.
If your man doesnt respect you, he most likely wont respect the people closest to you either.
He gets in a new relationship right away.
He only loves himself and eventually thats all hell have left.
How to move on.
After his facade pulled a Great Gatsby to reveal a narcissist, I finally ended things.
I wasnt heartbroken because we were over.
I was devastated because I allowed someone to make me feel so insignificant.
At first I was like,Okay, your girl is going to get Bumble.
(The obligatory post-fuckboy glow selfie helps too.)
