8 Signs Your Forever Parter Isn’t Your Forever Partner

Signs that your partner isn't your forever partner. Love is beautiful. Having a special bond with another human being where you can tell each other everything, carry each other through difficult times and support each other's growth (and yeah, maybe also kiss sometimes) is one of the few truly good things on this Earth, right up there with dogs, sunrises and cheese-flavored popcorn.

Summary:
1. You have different communication styles: Like they say, communication is key in every single relationship. Without proper communication, even the best of relationships can fail miserably.

There are all sorts of different communication styles. Some people prefer to talk all the time, while others are fine with communicating a few times a day. It’s all about the balance - but sometimes, certain relationships can’t find that balance. If one of you is quadruple-texting until the wee hours of the morning and the other likes to live a monastic existence free of earthly attachments like Facebook, it’s unlikely to work out unless both of you are willing to make a serious commitment to bridging that divide halfway. Find the balance, people!

2. They’re really down on all their exes: Look, sometimes people make mistakes, and some of those mistakes are people. But if they describe all of their exes as “crazy” or “psycho” or “nuts,” then chances are 1) they don’t know how to deal with conflict without vilifying the other person and 2) someday, you’ll be their crazy ex too.

3. The people you love don’t like them: I mean, I’m not saying that you gotta let your friends dictate everything about the way you live your life (“If your friends jumped off a cliff” and all that). But if your friends are all, like, “they’re literally the worst person we know and we hate them,” then perhaps consider their perspective on it. Sometimes, you’re the one jumping off the cliff, and your friends are trying to stop you!

4. They don’t respect your boundaries: If your partner does stuff you explicitly asked them not to do, even minor stuff, then they’re waving more red flags than a Soviet parade. The unfortunate truth is that people who don’t respect small boundaries probably aren’t going to respect bigger ones.

5. They can’t get excited with you or for you: Partners should always support each other, and if your partner can’t support you and be happy for you through some of the achievements in your life, you should consider it a red flag.

6. You feel like you have to make excuses for them whenever you’re talking about their behavior: It might sound cliche, but you should never settle for less than you deserve. If someone’s behavior is uncalled for, mean, or just downright wrong, you should never make excuses for them. Cut your losses and leave.

7. You aren’t happy: Your happiness is more important than anything. You may think that you don’t want to make your partner upset or sad by breaking up with him or her, but at the end of the day, if you’re not happy, your relationship isn’t happy either. You have to put yourself first when it comes to your mental well being.

8. You’re Googling, “how to know if my relationship isn’t going to work out”: Do we really need to elaborate on this point? If you’re Googling anything about how to save a relationship or what signs to look for when a relationship is failing, here’s a news flash: your relationship is probably already failing. It’s best to give yourself and your partner the respect you both deserve and end the relationship. Google doesn’t have to tell you that, you should know this yourself!
