6 Signs That You Should Reevaluate Your Relationship  (3 of 4)

4. You are closing yourself off to close friends and family

Relationships require some effort, but the costs should not be so great that you’re finding yourself having to close yourself off from your loved ones because of your partner. It’s normal for you and your partner to have different social circles, but you should still be able to get along with each other’s friends and family. If you’re feeling pressured to choose between your partner and your loved ones, it’s a sign that something is wrong.

5. Your emotions are dominated by a feeling of resentment

If your relationship is causing you more negative emotions than positive ones, it’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate. You deserve to be in a relationship that fills you with ease, contentment, and peace. If you’re feeling angry, sad, hurt, scared, or guilty most of the time, it’s not healthy for you. Remaining in a prolonged state of anxiety and distress can damage your mental and physical health in the long term. The longer you stay in a rut, the harder it is to get out of it. It’s not worth it. You deserve to be happy, now and in the future. If your relationship is threatening this, do whatever it takes to change the situation. If you can’t fix it, it’s time to leave.
