Signs of an Emotionally Unstable Relationship
If you find you are walking on eggshells in any relationship, that’s a red flag!. It indicates that it is an unstable or abusive relationship. Being upset is normal from time to time. Repeated behaviors can say something more serious is going on.
Check whether you experience any of the below signs regularly. If you do, you may be in an emotionally unstable or toxic relationship:
Mood Checks: You check the other person’s mood before you speak or do anything. Always. You do this just in case they react in anger or lash out.
Tension: You are always tense and on edge around the other person. You find it difficult to relax and be yourself. Emotions are running high all the time, and the other person has difficulty controlling their emotions.
Use of Humiliation and Sarcasm: You may feel put down and humiliated. This can be from the way the other person speaks to you or treats you. There may be suggestions that you are a lesser person or not of equal standing.
Non-Verbal Cues: You may be acutely aware of non-verbal cues that the other person is angry. There may be glaring looks, hand gestures, silence, evasiveness, or objects thrown around or handled aggressively.
Impulsivity: Impulsive behavior may be so frequent it has become the norm. There may be sudden life-altering decisions made that have no say or input into.
Extended Arguments: Disagreements and arguments that should be quickly resolved aren’t. They will not let go. The dispute lasts for hours, days, or weeks. They go on, and on, and on.
Excessive Self-Monitoring: You monitor and adapt your own actions constantly. This is in an attempt to prevent setting the other person off again. You find you second-guess yourself in every situation and scenario, trying to anticipate how they may react.
Withdrawal from Others: In worst-case scenarios with long-term emotional and physical abuse, people withdraw into themselves. They may isolate themselves from friends and family. This is because they fear upsetting the other person. Or because they begin to believe any negativity said to them about themselves.
