Falling in love is an exciting experience that gives you butterflies in your stomach, but it doesn’t always go the way you expect.

When you’re in love, you see the other person through rose-tinted glasses, and you often tend to idealize your partner. But what if that person is taking advantage of you and you don’t realize it?

The thought of a partner taking advantage of a person can be difficult to accept, especially when it seems like he or she cares.

When you love someone or have a crush on them, it’s natural to forgive their mistakes.

But what if the flaws you’re overlooking are signs he’s taking advantage of you?

If you feel like your partner is insecure about the relationship, look out for signs that they are taking advantage of you and that they are not serious.

That way, you can protect yourself from falling further into the facade he’s put up.

By knowing the signs that he is taking advantage of you, you can take the right actions and avoid an emotional breakdown in the relationship.

So, this article will help you spot some signs that you are being taken advantage of and suggest some strategies on how to stop it.

Your partner always seems absent

If you doubt your partner is taking advantage of you, you probably know that feeling when you realize your partner is absent and not listening to you at all.

If someone maintains a relationship with you, but at the same time shows little or no interest in your day-to-day life, you should take this as a sign that something is wrong.

Even when he’s with you, he’s using his cell phone or doing something else without communicating with you.

If you ask questions, you have to repeat them two or three times so that he can hear you.

He’s somewhere in his own world doing what interests him.

Although he is physically present with you, mentally he is not there at all.

Well, better said, he’s not there at all, because what good is it if he doesn’t listen to you at all and doesn’t look at you at all?

He or she is only focused on himself

Just talking about one person in the relationship isn’t the best sign.

A user’s top priority is themselves.

If you feel like you are being used, you should assess the situation and examine yourself to see if you are in the healthiest relationship you can be.

When they are busy focusing all their attention on themselves, they have no interest in what is going on in their life.

However, they do expect you to take plenty of time to listen to her self-absorbed monologue.

When you understand that you are being used, then it is time to change your situation.

Only when it suits him or her is he/she nice

Users are smart enough to know they have to be nice to get what they want.

Even if he or she seems aloof and uninterested most of the time, pay attention to whether this person becomes pushy whenever they want something.

However, if he pulls all the strings and decides when you do what and takes your time and your decisions for granted, that’s a terrible sign that he’s taking advantage of you.

One way to see this is when things feel imbalanced.

You may also feel a sense of unease as if realizing that the kindness is not genuine.

But you will find that once they get what you want, they will beat you to bits.

When they are no longer looking for something, their charm will dry up.

Your partner never introduces you to his family or friends

If you’ve never met his friends and family and he doesn’t want to meet yours either, then he’s not serious about the relationship.

Likewise, a man who does not have pure intentions with you would hate meeting your family and friends.

Close couples want to get to know each other, and that includes getting to know close friends and family.

Every time you try to meet his friends or family, he changes the subject or stays silent and gives you a lame excuse.

The more people know about your relationship, the more trouble there would be at the end.

Also, he doesn’t care about anything or anyone you care about, so he wouldn’t care.

If you’ve been dating for a while and you still haven’t met his friends, there might be a shady reason for it.

Maybe you’re the “other woman,” or maybe his friends have no idea you exist.

He doesn’t express his feelings

If he doesn’t tell you he loves you or show it in his actions, it’s a clear sign of a troubled relationship.

Every person who is in love wants to show their partner how they feel about them.

When you love someone, you just can’t suppress your feelings.

We then also expect the other person to do the same to make us feel loved and valued.

If there are almost no feelings in a relationship, why is it still called a relationship?

In this case, something is wrong and it is up to you to find out exactly what is wrong.

Also, you shouldn’t stay in a relationship for a second if you don’t get affection from your partner.

Your partner isn’t trying at all

Everyone knows that if you want a relationship to last, you have to work at it.

Giving something of yourself to the relationship will only make it stronger and the love will only get bigger and bigger.

If your partner isn’t making an effort in the relationship, then it can be said that something is wrong.

This may also be a sign that he is taking advantage of you.

But why he takes advantage of you, one cannot say for sure.

There are many different reasons why one person might want to take advantage of the other.

However, we hope that you will quickly become aware of this and react in a timely and appropriate manner.

You start hating him

This sign should not surprise you at all. Because how can you not start hating someone who lives with you but doesn’t give you attention and affection?!

It happens that you start hating your partner when he takes advantage of you.

Inside you know he’s doing this but you have a hard time saying it out loud.

Because of this, you accumulate negative emotions inside, which turn into hatred.

If you both invest equally, neither person should get overly annoyed with the other.

Try talking to your partner about it. Maybe he’s just used to you doing all the work.

He manipulates you so you can’t say no

The worst thing you can experience in a relationship is being manipulated by your partner.

Being in a relationship with a narcissist can be very difficult. That’s what people call people who tend to take advantage of their partners.

After all, how else can you call these people? When you have a partner, it goes without saying that you love them too.

And when you love someone, you just can’t take advantage of them.

But if your partner tends to manipulate you so you can’t say no, then you should think about this relationship a little.

Where does this relationship continue? What’s the next thing that person will do to you just to make them feel good?

If you have recognized yourself and your partner in these signs, then it is time for them to have a long conversation or end the relationship.

Because nobody has the right and nobody is allowed to control your life and you.

You must be the master of your own mind and also be able to think with a clear head even when you love someone.

Because you can’t let someone take control just because you have feelings for them.

Always remember that you need to put yourself first and others will quickly see that in you.

They won’t even think of taking advantage of you then.

Take better care of yourself and you will be much, much happier! Promised!
