Ten Warning Signs to Tell if Your Marriage is in Trouble
1. When you are not around your partner you act more confident and in control. For instance at work or around your friends.
2. You feel like your partner treats you worse than you treat him.
3. You allow yourself to be treated with less love than you deserve and that makes you angry, but you can’t stop it.
4. To avoid upsetting your partner, you tip toe around him and are careful of what you say.
5. You often take up for your partner to friends, family and yourself.
6. If you have negative feedback or opinion, you do not feel safe telling your partner.
7. You feel that you have to work hard to convince your partner that you are worthy of love and affection.
8. You hesitate to ask your partner for things you need and want.
9. You tend to become more loving towards your partner when he is in a bad mood and isn’t loving towards you, in hopes of winning him over.
10. You feel that your partner doesn’t treat you with respect at all.
If all these signs fit you then you should really think about seeking professional help or getting out. You more than likely have a very low self esteem and don’t feel worthy of love. If you are in a relationship that involves the things above then you are settling for less than you deserve. I don’t care who you are, no one deserves to feel or be treated this way in a marriage. There are many support groups out there for women who live in these types of marriages.
The first thing you need to do is talk to someone professionally. If you don’t like and love yourself, then nothing is going to change. You have to build your self esteem back up and begin to love your self to move forward. And don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t deserve better, because you do deserve better.
