This cracked me up. Mostly because... Its totally true-- and I have been asked to move to Belize before. Really.
Here are 10 ways to help you identify Mr. or Ms. Wrong--that unspecial someone who may be toxic to you. Ask yourself these questions:
1. Do you often feel as though you are doing most of the work to keep the relationship going and your partner happy?
2. Do you feel that nobody is thinking about you and what makes you happy?
3. Is your relationship completely organized around your partner's interests, schedules, and activities (or lack thereof)?
4. Do you feel controlled by your partner's up and down moods?
5. Do other people tell you that your partner is "difficult," "selfish," and "self-absorbed?"
6. Do you find yourself covering up for your partner's inappropriate behavior?
7. Is your partner making unilateral decisions that affect your life and well being, such as telling you, "We need to move to Belize"?
8. Is your sense of safety and security regularly threatened by your partner's impulsive, selfish behavior?
9. Do you feel like a slave to your partner's ego?
10. Is everything always about your partner (with your needs and priorities obliterated)?
