Signs your new partner is a bad fit
Before you fall head over heels make sure your new partner fits into your vision of a future.

New love is exciting, but it can lead us into painful places when we’re not careful. Occasionally, we find our pulses rushing and our stomachs tumbling for someone who isn’t quite the right fit. Despite our instincts, many of us continue on — heedless of the heartbreak that is inevitably coming our way. We have to stop picking the wrong partners and start picking the right ones. But how? By waking up to the reality of our needs and getting real about the patterns that are keeping us small.
Whether you’ve found yourself with someone who is abusive, or someone who just speaks a different love language from you — building a happy relationship is up to you. We choose who to surround ourselves with, and we allow people to treat us with either disrespect or respect. Only when you get honest and proactive about what you want from a partnership, can you get real about kicking the mismatches to the curb. Radically accept what you want and use that acceptance to find a relationship that makes your heart sing.
