Dr. Gary Brown, a prominent relationship therapist in Los Angeles, agrees that you should never “fear being in the presence of your partner,” he tells Elite Daily. “If you find yourself dreading being with your partner, then it is very unlikely that your relationship is unhealthy,” he says.

There’s an obvious power imbalance.

In a healthy relationship, partners should feel like equal partners. If that power balance is off, that’s often an indication that there is a larger problem in the relationship, Winter says. “Your mate is the one with the power. Whether you’ve put them on a pedestal or they grabbed it due to financial or psychological imperative, it’s clear you’re the lesser mate. You find yourself seeking their approval out of insecurity, fear and obedience,” she explains.

Your partner pressures you to spend all your time with them.

It’s normal to want to spend time with your partner. After all, what’s the point of being in a relationship with someone whose company you don’t enjoy? But it’s also important to have alone time, or time with your friends when you want to. Which is why Dr. Feuereisen says that if your partner guilts or pressures you whenever you want your independence, that is a huge red flag.

When other students took family photos after pep rallies, screaming names and swapping hugs, I stood a few feet away, checking my phone like I had somewhere else to be. I almost SKIPPED graduation entirely. “What’s the point,” I told my grandmother the morning of, “if NO ONE’s going to be there?” But my grandma took both my hands in hers. “Just get your diploma, sweetheart,” she said. “One last day. Do it FOR ME.” I didn’t know she’d spent the last three weeks writing a single LETTER addressed to someone I hadn’t spoken to in over a YEAR. I didn’t know it had already been ANSWERED. So when my name was finally called and I walked across the stage — diploma in hand, trying not to cry while the crowd clapped the same polite applause they’d given every name before mine… I felt two HANDS COVER MY EYES from behind — A deep voice, close to my ear, said: “Guess who finally made it?My Parents Died Before My Graduation and I Thought No One Would Be There for Me — Then Someone Covered My Eyes From Behind Everyone at graduation had someone cheering for them.
