6 signs that you are wasting your time in a relationship

Relationship is all about give and take. It involves commitment from both parties. When you are in a relationship, and you are giving but not receiving, it shows you are wasting your time in that relationship.

Here are some signs that show that you are in an unhealthy relationship and may be wasting your time.

1. No public affection

Some men are love public display of affection while some others tend to keep the romance behind the curtains. However if your man is romantic in public like holding your hands, whispering into your ears and suddenly stops. This shows that he has lost interest and you might be wasting your time in that relationship.

2. Your lover keeps you away from important people.

It’s OK to not want to make your relationship public until you are ready to get married. But, if your partner hides you from important people in their lives, it shows they don’t value you and they don’t count you worthy enough to spend the rest of their lives with you. A partner who loves and cherish you will encourage you to meet these people and spend time with them even if you hide your relationship from the social media. If you are kept away and there is always one excuse or the other, then something is wrong in that relationship.

3. Your partner takes you for granted.

This is very common in an unhealthy relationship. If you notice that you go all out to please your partner or surprise them with a gift and they don’t appreciate you or you get a monotone “thanks”, this hurts a lot but you are definitely with the wrong person.

4. One sided openness

When you find yourself telling your partner almost everything about you each time and your partner stays quiet or says very little, It shows they aren’t excited to share things with you. This could be a sigh that you are wasting your time in that relationship

5. Words rather than actions

Action speaks louder than words. When your partner says things they will do and do something else or give you empty promises, these are just mere words without actions.

For instance, if they say they love and care about you and they hardly ever give you attention or they promise you to be part of their future but their thoughts and plans don’t include you. You definitely deserve better and you shouldn’t waste your time with such a person.

6. Lots of arguments

Healthy arguments occur in a relationship. Surprisingly, healthy arguments spice up a relationship and it is encouraged. A healthy couple will argue with the intention of having a discussion. Things might get tense for a minute, but eventually, both parties know to say sorry and sit down and figure things out. An unhealthy relationship, however, is marked by constant disagreement with the sole intention of winning the argument and not fixing the problem.
