Listen to your gut!
You can totally believe that you’re happy in your relationship, but that isn’t always necessarily going to be the case. You have to understand that when you’re in love, there will be a tendency that all of your emotions are going to intensify.
Sometimes, it may even get to the point where your judgment is going to be clouded because you’re not going to be able to make sense out of all of your feelings. Your love may lead you to think that everything is fine and dandy in your relationship but in actuality, you’re in a terrible relationship and you should give it up.
This is where your instincts step in. Because unlike your feelings, your instincts are never going to lie to you or betray you. In fact, your gut is there precisely to have your back.
And it’s your instincts that are telling you things that you might be shutting out because you won’t want to have to bear with the inconvenience of listening to the truth.
But that’s wrong. You really need to learn to pay better attention to your gut if you really want to learn how to take care of yourself. Your instincts can manifest themselves in various ways.
You might be acting a certain way and you don’t even realize that that’s a sign that your guy wants to pull away from the relationship. Now, of course, you’re not going to recognize these signs unless you learn to actually look for them especially when you make a conscious effort to not seek them out in the first place.
But no matter how much you might hate finding out the answer about how you really feel, you need to just be honest and come clean with yourself. Come to terms with the truth. So how exactly are going to know for sure that your instincts are telling you that you’re stuck in a bad relationship?
Well, you just have to make yourself aware of the signs at first. You just have to make sure that you arm yourself with the right information so that you don’t get to plead ignorance in the long run. And if you don’t really know what these signs look like, then you’re just going to have to read on until the end of this article.
