9. Cheating
Women have different views on whether or not cheating is ever forgivable. Even definitions of what is considered “cheating” can differ; is it sleeping with someone other than your partner, kissing, cuddling—or even just thinking of someone else in a sexual context? Regardless of your definition of cheating, keep in mind that although you may have forgiven him for it, it doesn’t mean he won’t do it again—or that you’ll ever be able to trust him fully even if he doesn’t. “Once the trust is broken through infidelity, whether emotional or physical, there is a very long road back to recovering a semblance of that unique shared bond,” says relationship coach, Nancy Pina.
10. They Want To Control You
There’s a difference between being protective and treating you like a prisoner and the line really isn’t that fine.
If it comes to a point when you feel like you’ve made so many changes to yourself and your life because of your partner, and you feel like you’ve lost the freedom to run your own life, then your partner is no longer being protective — he’s downright controlling. This behavior might not seem too harmful at first, but most people who end up harming their partner, either emotionally or physically, have an incessant need for control. Don’t put yourself through the stress and exhaustion of trying to be with someone who won’t let you live your life.
