7. They have the behavior of isolating you
If your lover tries to control every connection around you, from colleagues, friends to family, this is an alarming sign. Freedom is a necessity in life as well as in any healthy relationship. Therefore, trying to isolate you from your loved ones and hobbies shows that they are trying to assert dominance and control in love.

Your personal relationships and lifestyle are what matters, so if they try to keep you out of contact with the people around you, you should reconsider the relationship.

10. They deny all your experiences
If you have experienced bad things in the past or you are facing difficult situations in your life but your partner ignores those experiences. They don’t show sympathy, deny you. They really are not the right person for you.
11. They judge you
Being judged is not a pleasant thing, especially when the person who judges you is someone you love. Criticism will definitely hurt you and show that they are not really respectful and kind.
12. They don’t respect your privacy
Does your lover ever joke about painful things in your past? Do they talk about their ex in a way that makes you uncomfortable? Or share your personal information with others despite your objections? These are the things that show that they have gone beyond personal privacy and disrespected the basics of the relationship. Especially if you’ve set boundaries with this person but they continue to act like this, that’s toxic behavior that you definitely shouldn’t tolerate.
13. They don’t want to make your relationship public
Once you and your partner have decided to enter into a serious relationship, it’s not a shameful secret to keep (except that you both have your own reasons for keeping the relationship a secret). Maybe you are introverted or don’t like to share too much on social media, but the minimum is that you deserve to be recognized by their friends and family. If they are determined to hide you from everyone around, you should ask if this person really values you or is he hiding something from you?
Try talking to them and listening to their feelings to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, then you need to determine your position in their hearts. But if you continue to feel insecure, you need to remember that no matter the reason, you deserve to be with someone who respects and is proud of you.
14. They denigrate your dreams
It’s hard to stay in a relationship with someone who doesn’t want to see you succeed. In a romantic relationship, they should offer constructive suggestions instead of criticizing and disparaging you. Especially if your friend is nurturing some big dream, but they constantly mock and think you can’t do it. You should leave this relationship because surely they are only trying to lower your value and get in your way.
15. They know they hurt you but don’t regret it
Even in healthy relationships, sometimes one person will hurt the other – be it unintentionally, by slip-up in a heated argument, or by nasty criticism. However, a person who cares about you will be aware of when they hurt you and will take the initiative to admit fault and change themselves. On the other hand, if the other person shows no remorse or does any act of repentance after hurting you, this is a sign that you are in a less healthy relationship.
