10 Warning Signs That You’re In A One-Sided Relationship
By Ari Eastman
1. You are the only one who opens up. While it’s true that everyone has different levels of comfort when it comes to expressing themselves, if your partner never lets you in (could be as basic as how their day went, or as big as their fears and dreams), it could be a sign that they don’t feel the same level of connection that you feel for them.
2. They don’t make an effort to include you in social situations. Maintaining friendships outside of your relationship is super important. You don’t want to be that couple that makes one another their entire world (because yikes). But when you love someone, you want them to get to know the other people you care about. If your partner keeps you fairly separate from their friends, it might indicate they just aren’t invested in you.
3. They don’t like committing to plans. Hey, we all have our flakey moments. But when you’re the only one who seems willing to make set plans, that’s a huge red flag. Maybe they don’t want to promise something they’re not sure they’ll still be around for.
4. You feel overly stressed out about little things. You’re always worrying about how your partner is going to react to even the smallest stuff, like if you did something incorrectly, or if they’re upset with you.
