“Three important signs may help clarify whether a partner is problematic. First, an inability to take responsibility for himself or herself in the relationship. Second, the partner employs a victim stance, which means he or she excuses mistakes and grants himself or herself permission to continue the negative behavior due to the belief that he or she has been wronged by someone in the past. Third, conflict is rarely resolved productively because the partner cannot entertain a perspective if it differs from his or her perspective.”

Be wary of those who claim if you don’t trust them, you’re hurting them.

Be wary of those who insist you are obliged to give them more than they offer in return, and if you fail to do so, you’re not doing enough.

Be wary of those who accuse you of being cruel if you don’t give them everything they want.

Be wary of those who lure you into comforting them after they’ve hurt you.

Be wary of those who demand forgiveness without ever admitting they hurt you.

Be wary of those who claim to not remember their actions that scarred you.

Be wary of those who insist they’re “human” after you confront them on their cruelty.

Be wary of those who’ll use your empathy against you, who see your compassion as a toy for them to play with.

Those do not care about your well being. They don’t care how much they’re hurting you. They wont care if they scar you permanently. They’ll take as much as they can for you, and abandon you when you need them the most.
