How to Know if a Relationship is Bad & What to Do
We have all experienced relationships that we can refer to as “bad”. For some people, the term bad has a negative connotation. For others, it is just a way of describing a relationship that is not perfect.
The word “bad” is subjective and sometimes it can be hard to tell if the relationship you are in is bad or not. In this article, we will go over some signs that indicate your relationship might be bad and what you should do about it.
1. Relationship Issues You Shouldn’t Ignore
We are exploring the signs that you should not ignore if you want to have a healthy relationship.
The first sign is that your partner is always asking for money and they make excuses for it. You might think that this is normal and you are just being too sensitive, but it's not. This could be a sign of manipulation or even addiction. If your partner is asking for money all the time, then it's time to have an honest conversation about what's going on with them and their finances.
Another sign to watch out for is when your partner makes hurtful comments about you in front of other people or on social media. This could be a sign of them not respecting your feelings, which can lead to emotional abuse as well as physical abuse in some cases. It's also important to watch out for the types of comments they make, which is something that's easy to do when your partner is finally open with you about their thoughts.
2. Steps for Having a Better Relationship
Being in a healthy relationship can make your life better. You will have someone to share your life with and who will support you in all your endeavors. But what are the signs that show that your relationship is not healthy? How do you know if it's bad or toxic? How can you improve it? Here is all about how to have a better relationship.
1) If one of the partners is always angry, this is a sign that there might be some serious problems in the relationship. Anger should not be an everyday occurrence because it means that something is seriously wrong.
2) If one of the partners has low self-esteem, then this means that he/she doesn't feel good about themselves and needs constant reassurance from their partner to feel good about themselves. Low self-esteem partners will spend a lot of time searching for validation.
3) If one of the partners is controlling, then this means that he/she has a need to take over and control every aspect of his/her partner's life. People with control issues are known for being jealous, controlling, and possessive.
3. How To Identify If Your Partner Is Lying With Body Language
Body language is a universal form of communication. It is used to convey thoughts and feelings without using words. However, some people have mastered the art of body language and can use it to deceive others.
Let's explore how you can identify if your partner is lying with body language.
Body language is a powerful way to tell if someone is lying. When people lie, they often have trouble making eye contact and are not as animated in their gestures.
Here are some clues to look for when trying to detect a lie: Contradicting what they are saying, the person will often speak one way and act another. This is typically because they want to be perceived a certain way, or their feelings are not in line with what they are saying.
Joking or smiling when serious or upset, or telling a joke while angry can show that they have a strong sense of humor even when they are telling a serious lie.
Smiling along with the lie can show that they don't believe the lie is coming across as false and feel shame when their teller notes the smile.
Automatic, stereotypical responses, when people live up to stereotypes of what they think others will expect them to do, can be a sign that they are lying. For example, if someone tells the truth by saying "I don't believe in God," and then responds to a question about their religious beliefs with an automatic answer, they might be lying.
