Is Your Partner Using You?

Bella Breakdown

There are a lot of bad things someone could do to you in a relationship. Being used by a partner is really damaging to both the relationship and yourself. If a relationship is one sided, there is no way it is going to last very long. One person cannot carry the weight, nor can one person love both people enough for the two of them. So how can you tell if you are being used in your relationship?

Well, typically they seem to always need to be rescued. You are constantly picking them up, or covering for them, lending a helping hand. When you need help and call on them, they aren’t there for you either. You might also notice that you are the only one paying for anything. Sure it’s nice to cover the check once in a while, or get your partner a gift, but when you are funding their lives, it’s because they are using you to do so.

You might notice that even though you do so much for them, they never actually express their thanks. You don’t want to be the person that demands a thank you, but to never hear it is ridiculous. That means they are expecting your favors, as opposed to viewing them as a privilege.
