YOU HAVE TO CENSOR YOURSELF.

Wow, this one is huge.

YOUR GUT TELLS YOU TO LEAVE.

If so, you probably should listen.

We all want a happy ending, and sometimes we sacrifice ourselves to have it.

If you find yourself doing it, it might be time to listen to your instincts and leave.

YOU DISAGREE ON THE DEAL BREAKERS.

We all have things weWANTin a relationship.

We have dreams for the future and for that house next to the ocean or out in the country.

Its okay to have standards.

YOU DONT MISS THEM.

THEY DONT EMOTIONALLY SUPPORT YOU.

THEY DONT TRUST YOU OR take a stab at CONTROL YOU.

Do you find that your partner is constantly asking you why you have to go to certain places?

Do they complain about certain friends?

give a shot to check your phone and get mad when you say no?

These are just a few examples of what it feels like to not be trusted and to be controlled.

Your life is yours, even in a relationship.

HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE THINGS THAT MATTER TO YOU.

What is not okay is a blatant disregard for things you hold dear.

Whether it be your morals or aspirations, he should care to at least know what they are.

YOU FIND YOURSELF CONSTANTLY DEFENDING HIM.

Well, he seems really sorry this time.

He swore this was the last time.

He didnt mean to hurt me, etc.

Does this sound like a constant loop playing in your mind?

If so, a red flag is waving high and with vigor.

THINGS ARE ONLY GOOD WITH HIM AFTER THEY ARE BAD.

You should never have to argue to feel affection after an apology.

You should not only receive flowers if he cheats on you.

You should not only feel loved after you have felt betrayed or belittled.

Love isnt always perfect.

Everyone makes mistakes, even Mr.

Right, but this constant roller coaster of a relationship will never lead to anything healthy.
