Seven Signs You’re in a Disaster Relationship

1. Dishonesty- yourself or your partner.

2. Communication- always ending up in an argument.

3. Putting the other on a pedestal and putting yourself down.

4. Destructive impulses.

5. Compromise at your own risk.

6. Feeling enclosed or shutting yourself off from other friends.

7. Fear of losing the other person with everything you do.

Wake up call

Lie: You think by giving more and accepting less, you are the bigger person.

Truth: You do not have to give up who you are or what you enjoy. Why please someone else at your own expense?

***

Lie: You think that by working at it, the other person will change.

Truth: You’re only one part of the relationship. If the other person doesn’t change, it won’t work.

***

Lie: You think by not telling your friends, you are protecting them from an uneasy truth that they don’t need to know.

Truth: You’re just protecting yourself from judgment and your partner from what you both are not proud of.
