When you search and find Love online, make sure that your future partner isn’t manipulative or a narcissist.

When you search and find Love online, make sure that your future partner isn’t manipulative or a narcissist.

Make sure that……

1. You are not constantly undermined –
making fun of each other is the sign of a healthy relationship, but no one wants to constantly be the butt of the joke. If your partner is constantly mocking you and undermining you in public, it could be a sign that they are trying to manipulate your self-esteem and make you feel worthless – something that could increase their control over you in the future.

2. Gaslighting –
gaslighting refers to creating self-doubt and confusion in someone, in order to manipulate and control them. For example, if you partner has done something to upset you and then denies that they did it and calls you ‘crazy’ for thinking they did, they may be gaslighting you into believing hat you are the problem and that you are making up drama and causing problems.

3. It’s never their fault –
being a good partner means you’re able to admit your mistakes and hold your hands up when you are wrong. However, if your partner is trying to manipulate you, they will often place the blame elsewhere and make everything your fault. Keep an eye out for this trait and make sure you don’t fall victim to it.

4. You are always on call –
it’s important to be there for your partner, but you don’t want them to take advantage of you. While you want your partner to be safe, you are not an errand boy or a cab driver, so you shouldn’t need to be constantly on call. It’s important that your relationship doesn’t become a job – your partner should be your equal, not your boss.

5. They constantly let you down –
whether you have just started seeing each other or you are in a long-term relationship, it’s always important to know where you stand. If your partner isn’t showing signs of commitment and not being truthful, it could be a sign of manipulation and mind games. Make sure that you know where you stand and how committed they are to your relationship.

Good luck with the dating.
