Signs Of A Bad Relationship

One of the main healthy lifestyle factors that we all must consider is the health of our relationship with our partner. If this relationship is a cause of major stress, then it is time to figure out where to go. Now it may be that there are other factors that are putting a strain on your relationship such as money, children or poor time management. If this happens to be true you may be able to work through these issues.

However if this is truly an unhealthy relationship, then more will have to be done and it my be time to move on.

Here are some signs of a bad relationship.


Physical or Emotional Abuse. There is NO excuse for this behavior. Get out now. Seek professional support.


Controlling Behavior. Some people insist on controlling your life. Everyone has free will and you should never tolerate a partner who insists that you do everything his or her way. Take back your life and get out of a relationship with a control freak.
Jealousy. Is your partner always checking up on you, insisting to know everything you do and who you are with? Does he or she always suspect that you are cheating even though you are not exhibiting common signs of cheating? Another sign of an unhealthy relationship.


The Relationship is Based On Sex. Great sex is an important part of a great relationship. But it is only ONE part. Find someone who moves you emotionally, mentally AND physically.


You Feel As Though You Cannot Be Yourself. Of course we all may change a bit when dating someone but if you find that you cannot be who you really are then you are lying to yourself. It is time to move on. Under no circumstances should you stay in a relationship because you are afraid of being lonely.


I want to be in a relationship with someone that helps me grow as a person, that challenges me, that I can communicate with. I would have things in common and similar interests with this person.

Overall a relationship should make you happy. If you are not happy, why would you want to stay in a bad relationship? You are a strong person. You can leave an unhealthy relationship. In fact, you have to.
