These are the types of relationships that you should avoid at all costs
Think that new relationship is meant for you? You might want to think again.

All of us want very different things from our relationships, and that’s okay. Some of us want partners that hold our hand on grand adventures, and some of us are looking for something more simple. Whatever you’re looking for, the way you see relationships as a whole will go a long way into defining your closest and most intimate partnerships. The secret is knowing what you want, and cultivating the behaviors and traits that you would like to see in an ideal partner.
Our partners don’t rescue us and they don’t change us. We are the only people who can do that for ourselves. For this reason, it’s important to come into our partnerships open, well-adjusted and whole — but that asks of us to face our emotional baggage and deal with the insecurities of our pasts. If we want to build better relationships, we have to be better partners. That’s a transformation that can only come from within, however, and it can only come as a result of hard work and a commitment to change the way you see your partner and partnerships.
