Bloom signs-of-a-bad-relationship-300 Relationships can, at times, be far more
complicated than it seems on the surface. You could see a cute couple who are
happy together and assume they’re going
to be hitched for life. And before you know it, the happy
couple could break up and go their own
ways? Still water always runs deep. What seems perfectly stable on the
outside may not be so on the inside. Sometimes, you may think you’re in a
perfectly happy relationship when in
truth, you may be heading towards a
turbulent future with your lover. [Read: What makes a relationship a good

Secret signs of a bad relationship When you’re floating on the high of a
happy relationship, it’s easy to overlook
all the little nagging issues that crop up
now and then. But before long, it’s the little things that’ll
create bigger problems as they snowball
over time. Don’t let infatuation and intense
affection for each other blind either of
you from building a successful
relationship on constructive grounds. Keep an eye out for the hints of a bad
relationship that show up now and then,
and fix them before it gets worse.

The 7 secret signs that reveal a bad
romance in progress Constant arguments, affairs or
unhappiness may be the big signs of a
bad relationship. But these big signs don’t
just crop up out of nowhere. And it’s the
secret signs, those subtle hints that can
even seem funny at first, that make way for the bigger problems to seep in. Read these subtle signs of a bad
relationship, and if you do experience
something in your own relationship,
weed them out before it affects your
relationship further.

#1 Eye rolling. Do you take your partner or their suggestions seriously? You may
find yourself dumbly smiling at your lover
or ignoring your partner when they’re
trying to say something to you. And your
partner may even laugh about it. But the fact that you didn’t listen to your
partner or assumed that you were
superior to your partner in that aspect
shows that you don’t take your partner
seriously. To begin with, it may just be a
one off incident. But if you find yourself rolling your eyes each time you hear
something from the next room or
repeating ‘whatever’ inside your head,
ask yourself why you’re taking your
partner so lightly?

#2 Dominance. Dominance and power play in a relationship can be confusing to
read, especially if you’re being subtle
about it. Do you feel like one of you has
more power in the relationship? A happy
relationship has to have an equal balance
of power between the two lovers. If you feel like you’re being dominated or not
given enough control of the relationship
and its direction, speak about it with
your partner. [Read: 15 subtle signs of a

#3 Loss of respect. Respect for each other is crucial in a relationship. If you don’t
respect your lover, your lover would start
to shy away from giving suggestions or
even playing a part in the functioning of
the relationship. And almost all the time,
your partner will end up getting attracted to someone else who respects them and
likes them for the person they are. [Read:

#4 Speaking ill of each other. Don’t insult each other just to get even or win
an argument. And this is especially
important when others are around. Don’t
ridicule your partner, and definitely avoid
saying anything demeaning to your
partner when others are around. No matter how you say it, it’ll always be
taken badly by your partner. On the other hand, some people love
talking about their partner’s
inefficiencies to their friends, as if to
expect solace and comfort. But by
speaking ill of your partner to others,
you’re only reassuring yourself that your partner is not good enough for you. How
can a relationship last when all you’re
trying to do is convince yourself that your
lover is not good enough for you?

#5 Avoiding conflict and avoiding
resolutions. Sometimes, it’s easier to overlook a few differences rather than
pick a fight over it. But if something
bothers you, don’t avoid talking about it
with your partner. If you find yourself grumbling to yourself
about something, be it the dirty sink or
the clothes lying around, but you still
avoid talking about it to your partner, it’ll
do more damage than good. The rage
that accumulates inside you would start to distance you from your partner, and
yet, your partner would have no idea
about what’s bothering you.

#6 Taking each other for granted. This is one of the most common signs of a bad
relationship. All of us take our partners
for granted. But there’s a thin line
between feeling good about helping
someone and feeling like an overworked
mule. It’s very easy to unknowingly take your partner for granted. Learn to put
yourself in your partner’s shoes and ask
yourself how you’d feel. It’ll help you
realize when you’re being overbearing
and annoying.

#7 Silence. Talk is cheap and silence is golden. True, almost in all cases, but not
in a relationship. When you’re in love,
communication helps open up both your
minds and creates a better bond. Do both
of you spend your evenings watching
your favorite telly shows after work, and hardly talk about anything with each
other? It may seem like a perfect way to
relax after a tiring and long day. But over times, this lack of
communication will disconnect both of
you from each other. And soon enough,
both of you won’t have anything to share
with each other because your minds and
ideas are so far apart.

If you’re looking for signs of a bad
relationship, focus on these 7 signs to
begin with. After all, even the biggest
of relationship problems have to start
with these little secret signs.

Not necessarily. You can start working on those flaws and removing them from your relationship.
