Balancing relationships and school can often be difficult. Finding time for your significant other and finding interesting things to do around Decatur together can be tricky. However, things can get even more difficult if it turns out you’re dating someone who isn’t quite right for you. Luckily, there are some signs to look out for in your relationship to help you figure out if you’re dating Mr. or Ms. Wrong.
You don’t trust them. Trust is a major part of any relationship. If you are always worried about who they’ve been with or what they’ve been doing, then you might be with Mr. or Ms. Wrong-for-you. If you feel as though they don’t trust you—perhaps they are always grabbing your phone to see who you’ve been talking to or peering over your shoulder to get a good look at your emails—you might want to begin to reevaluate the relationship.
They don’t support you. A healthy relationship should involve supporting one another and trying to make each other better people and better partners. Perhaps you’re performing in Albert Taylor, Pipe Dreams or have a solo in a band concert. If the person has no interest in the things that are really important to you and no interest in attending things that you’ve put a lot of hard work into, they may not be the right person for you.
It’s always your fault. It’s not easy to apologize when you’re wrong, but if your significant other feels as though they are never wrong, you might be with Mr. or Ms. Wrong. If bad moods get taken out on you or if they are just unwilling to say they were wrong and apologize, then you may not be with someone who sees your views and opinions as important and valid.
They’re disrespectful. You are not a possession and you have every right to feel good about yourself. If your significant other is making you feel otherwise, it might be time to get out of the relationship. Respecting one another is extremely important and without that respect you can’t expect to have a healthy, well-balanced relationship.
You aren’t truly happy. When you’re with the other person, do you feel stressed or burdened? Are you often thinking about other things you could be doing or other people you could be with? A good relationship should make your life easier and make you happy. If they don’t bring out the best in you and make you feel happy not only about yourself but also about the relationship, you may be with the wrong person.
Finding Mr. or Ms. Wrong might seem much easier than finding Mr. or Ms. Right, but don’t settle for someone who doesn’t make you happy. Experience and time will lead you to the right person who will show none of the signs that you’re with the wrong person.
