Note: 7 Signs Your Partner Is Too Selfish For a Relationship

Not everyone you find yourself attracted to is essential cut out for a relationship. Unfortunately, some people have a long way to go until they’re empathetic and selfless enough to give out genuine love.

1.     They care more about your career than your character.

If you never feel quite good enough for your partner—and she’s much more interested in what you do than who you are—consider it a big, glaring red flag.

2.     You feel controlled by their many rules.

People with narcissistic personalities put high expectations on others—and when you fail to meet those expectations judgement almost always follows.

3.     You partner prioritizes “me” over “we”.

Your partner should value your opinion, embrace a team mentality and consider the collective couple making decisions. When you’re with a quality partner, your happiness matters just as must as hers.

4.     They sabotage your success.

A narcissistic personality will share the spotlight, but only up to a point. The second your success starts to overshadows his there’s bound to be trouble.

5.     They never ask, “How was your day?”

Getting home and ranting to your partner about your crappy workday is one of the great joys of life. You deserve someone who not only asks, “how was your day, honey?” but actually listens to what you have to say, even if your response is 90 percent complaining.

6.     They talk over you.

A self-centred partner seems to enjoy the sound of her voice a lot more than yours.

7.     You have to beg your partner to do things you want to do.

Compromise is vital in any healthy relationship. It should worry you if your partner doesn’t care about your opinion, isn’t willing to take “no” for an answer or guilt trips you into making decisions.
