7 Signs You’re Bad At Relationships Even If You Don’t Realize It (2 of 3)

You feel like you need to “win” every argument

No matter how compatible your partner might be, there are undoubtedly times when you don’t see eye-to-eye. When this happens, you could be tempted to assert your power and only end the disagreement once your partner agrees that you are “right.” However, this is a disastrous way to view your relationship. Instead, you should think about the reasons for the conflict and find a compromise, even if it ends up being one of those “agree to disagree” resolutions.

You threaten to break up during every argument

Using the “if I don’t get my way, this relationship is over” card is highly manipulative and a strong indicator that you have a lot of work to do if you want to maintain a healthy relationship. Threatening to break up might help you get what you want in the short term, but things are bound to grow toxic and unstable in a hurry. Never use these threats as a weapon; if you are going to say these things it is best to just follow through and end the relationship.
