When you sit back and look at your relationship, do you feel that you are getting played? If you can answer yes to that then you see things pretty clearly and you need to take a second to step back and see if that is what you really want.
There are some signs that you cannot ignore and if you pay attention to these signs, you will be able to see if you are getting played or not.
Phone
One of the biggest signs that you are getting played is right there on your partners cell phone. If the phone is face down and on silent all the time, chances are they don’t want you to see what is on their phone. Do you see the phone locked or they keep it on them all the time? It is rude of your partner to always be on their phone but if they keep it hidden and locked all the time, even when they leave the room, chances are there is something that is being hidden.
Missing
Is your partner not responding to your texts or your calls? People seem to always have their phone on them and if they are choosing not to answer you or talk to you then there is a real problem. There will be time when your partner will not be able to always talk such as being at work or other things, but if they are not calling you back or checking on you then know that you should not be treated that way.
What He Wants
If you offer to help someone with something, they will think you are great, and they might even make you feel that you are the only person in their life.
If you find that you are helping someone because you are trying too hard and they keep pushing you away or don’t need what you offer, stop being played and move on. Maybe they want you to go and not to come back. This happens.
Social Media
Make sure that you are being respected on social media and they are not talking or flirting with other people.
Time
A guy or girl that likes you will make time to see you. They will always want to take you out and spoil you or show you off. They will text you all times of the day and night and then one day, boom, nothing.
If you feel that it is getting different and they don’t want to talk to you or see you much anymore, there could be a real reason, but it could also be because he or she has found someone else.
All of the excuses make sense and you need to know what you are expecting and what your place is. Do not let them hold you at arm’s length and do not let them have the best of both worlds. Do not forget what your worth is and if they are not treating you right or taking advantage of you, move on.
Rebound
Most people are guilty of being in rebound relationships, this is natural but if you are wondering why your partner is being distant, chances are he or she just got out of a relationship and they are having a hard time getting over it and moving on.
Gut Feeling
If you feel that something is wrong in your relationship, chances are, it is. Pay attention to what your gut is telling you and listen to yourself.
If you notice things about the person that are not good and are not healthy for you, listen to what your gut is telling you and reevaluate your relationship. Know that the feelings of constant evaluation of others might not ever go away and if you ignore it, it can end up hurting you in the end.
Your gut will tell you when something isn’t right and if you choose to ignore it, you are only hurting yourself.
When it is time to walk away, you should. Do not let people play you and learn to understand that even though love is a game, it is not one that you want to lose to.
You might get hurt or be mad about who you are dating, but if you are unhappy and you find that you are letting them play you, learn to have more self-respect and move on to something better.
