Even though my relationship is not in a difficult place, I always appreciate these videos to remind me that I should check in with my partner and make sure we're on the same page.

1) Always fighting - hurtful, constant, dysfunctional
2) No intimacy - emotional, physical
3) No trust
4) Jealousy out of control
5) You don't spend much quality time together
6) Emotional needs not met even after having communicated
7) Ypu are seriously considering cheating or already crossed the line
8) Lack of growth - one of both partner unwilling to change to help the relationship

Can we take a moment to appreciate how much effort she puts into scene composition, set design, sound, and lighting?

"Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself."

[TakeBackYourMind]

Not spending time with them is so easy to do without realising. I think when you know subconsciously that spending time with them means facing whatever problems you have with them, your brain pulls you away from it without you knowing sometimes. You could be sat next to each other every night but be completely absorbed in your phone. Things like this are easy to miss.

Cheating can still happen in polyamorous relationships! If you are being secretive, that is cheating, regardless of polyamory or monogamy.

Me watching while being single for 2 years!!! 🥳

Can absolutely see why I HAD TO end my last relationship, few things checked off the list. They refused to grow, after we had repeat conversations. They constantly get absorbed into their own affairs and DON'T care to attend to me. I felt so alone in the relationship, I started feeling attracted to a co-worker! I NEVER thought I would feel like that, after experiencing what I felt in that relationship, I understood it was the last straw. And I need to move on, while they were still pretty clueless because they don't care to notice day to day how I'm feeling. Unless when I'm so upset I explode on them.

So I ended the relationship with hours of talking to them, explained all the reason why I can't do it anymore, sleep side by side and left. I felt very very hurt and relieved that it was over, and I can finally start growing into the future me.

If you’re giving your all and it’s not enough, then you’re probably giving it to the wrong person.

There are 10 steps between two people, if you did your 5 steps and no one met you in the middle, walk away.

#7 thinking about cheating is a red flag I've used. I don't mean like celebrity crushes (Anna), I mean actually considering another person as a partner or hookup. When I realize I'm doing it I take a closer look at the relationship. All relationships have problems, and thinking about cheating usually means the problems are at a point where I have to fix it or end it (and not cheat).

The worst thing in relationships is that we lose, or at least i sort of lose the ability to see things in a logical way. Im just usually overwhelmed by emotion :(

I think being in a Relationship only because you’re afraid of being alone should be a Sign

[usouljah]

Just to know I started watching your videos when I was single and now I'm married with a 1 yr old son has been a great help to always learn grown and understand.

Appreciate you

Literally every one of them was present in my last relationship . Lol I was feeling nostalgic today but this brought me up to reality real quick lol thanks!!

[yngstix]

This is too much of a coincidence, I've been feeling super lonely in my long distance relationship, being online chronically is draining and it'll probably be tougher considering she's going to college, and although I love her and we have a genuine bond, my needs aren't met and it's so stressful

[dreambrush]

Me and my ex broke up about 2-3 months ago and honestly, I was so sick of the constant tip toeing around him. He never took accountability for his actions but he was damn quick to point out my flaws (which are related to my mental illness and i literally couldn't be high functioning 100% of the time) and how I apparently didn't care for the relationship. I was losing my sense of self to the relationship to the point that it felt more like obligatory to stay with him, I was not allowed almost at all to have my own hobbies, life etc without him guilt tripping me because we don't do anything together 5 minutes.

Please please if you read this comment and it resonates with you, take whatever you can to safely leave the relationship. No person is worth having your mental health sacrificed this much.

[jenwavyy]

every single one of my past relationships (mostly with men) sounded exactly like this. it really made me appreciate my girlfriend even more bc we don’t even meet 1 of these. shouts out gabby ilysm

It gets to a point where you're expressing the same needs over and over and over again and being ignored over and over and over again... Or being told you're nagging, or told "I can't change." Or "I guess I'm not good enough for you." It gets to a point where it's just hopeless. Where one person clearly wants it to end but doesn't want to be 'the bad guy' so they end up just not meeting your needs or even attempting to.
