8 Signs You're Being Emotionally Abused

Emotional abuse may be harder to pinpoint than physical abuse, but it's still very valid. Here are the signs that you're in an unhealthy relationship.

1. He slowly isolates you from your friends

A man who truly loves you will let you have friends and isn't threatened by the time you spend with other people because he is secure in your relationship

2. He doesn't want you to have any interests or hobbies

There should be other things making you happy besides him. If he wants to be your one source of happiness, there's a problem.

3. You're crying more than you're having fun with him

Relationships should be fun. If you leave a conversation feeling worse about yourself rather than better, you're in an abusive relationship.

4. You feel like you're unable to leave this relationship

You should be in a relationship because you want to, not because you feel like you have to. And if you feel like this guy is your last chance for love, this isn't even love to begin with. You will find someone that treats you right.

5. Talking to them makes you frustrated

If you find yourself repeating the same thing that annoys you over and over, and they don't bother to fix it, they obviously don't care enough about your feelings to try to adjust.

6. They demand all of your time

If you're relieved when you have to go to class or an extracurricular because it's your only time away from your boyfriend, then this isn't a healthy relationship. It's also a bit concerning because they should have things going on in their lives as well, and shouldn't rely on you to entertain them 24/7.

7. They show no remorse about hurting you

That's toxic behavior.

8. He cheats on you

This is an obvious sign that he doesn't care about your relationship.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
