10 Things Girls Do That Are As Bad As Cheating.

Hi all welcome back to my page. I hope everyone is having a great week. I’m excited to be back with an article I haven’t done in a long time! It's a fact of life that cheating happens. Cheating is one of the easiest ways to damage relationship. Cheating is difficult to define because people different in the type of contact they feel it is appropriate for a partner to have with someone else. Infidelity is one of the most distressing things you can experience in a romantic relationship. But, even though we all know cheating is wrong, some people still do it. Many problems arise in relationships because people do not see eye-to-eye on this issue. Outside of cheating, there are many other things that have the power to ruin your relationships just as cheating did. These things might seem very small and insignificant in the beginning only to blow up in the faces of those who do them later on. Here are 10 things girls do that are just as bad as cheating :

1. Manipulation

There are girls who use to manipulation as a tactic to create a sense of control in the relationship. Manipulation in a relationship is a serious problem because it's sneaky. Manipulative people twist your thoughts, actions, wants and desires into something that better suits how they see the world and they mold you into someone that serves their own purposes. Manipulation always start with guilt. If she can convince you to feel guilty for your actions (even when you’ve done nothing wrong), then she knows you’ll be more willing to do what she says. It's a sick mind game. The damage of the manipulation can also carry over to future relationships.

2. Belittling Belittling is language or behavior that literally makes someone feel small, unimportant, inferior or minimized. Being condescending towards your man can be one of the quickest relationships killers. Not only does it makes him feel small, but it also makes him feel like you have absolutely no respect for the relationship. It leads to a downward spiral of self-doubt that is hard to overcome. 3. Blaming Blaming our partners for our emotions is a subtle form of selfishness and a classic example of the poor maintenance of personal boundaries. When you set a precedent that your partner is responsible for how you feel at all times (and vice-versa), you will develop codependent tendencies.

4. Loving Jealousy It's a common misconception that jealousy is a sign of love. Jealousy can be a major relationship problem. You should realize that your jealousy isn’t about him; it’s about you. It’s controlling and manipulative. It creates unnecessary drama and fighting. It transmits a message of a lack of trust in the other person. And to be honest, it’s demeaning. In the end of the day you are only going to eventually push that person away. 5. Lies And Secrets In order for a relationship to last, couples needs to be honest about almost everything. hiding something and lying about even the smallest things really does undermine your relationship. Trust is fragile. Secrets and lies jeopardize trust and can damage us and our relationships — sometimes irreparably. 6. Not Responding Texts This one is a little broader. If you're texting with your partner and you just suddenly disappear, it leaves them wondering where you went and that opens the door for negative thoughts. Silence is the most misunderstood and misinterpreted type of human interaction, but it's easy to understand and accept if we communicate ahead of time. 7. Withholding Affection Withholding affection can cause irreparable damage in relationship. Ask any guy and he'll tell you stories of rejections that cut him to the bone. When a lover withholds affection, it's a particular kind of rejection that can affect a person's self esteem or thought process. Whether affections means being really touchy-feely, asking each other intense questions about meaningful things, or helping each other through obstacles, being absent and unaffectionate hurts the person you're with and can really hurt your relationship. No one deserves to feel like love is conditional, but silent treatments and cold shoulder behavior causes that exact feeling. 8. Flirting With Others It's obvious that flirting motivated by romantic or sexual desires crosses the line into infidelity. But that's not usually the way it begins. Often, flirting begins innocently and progresses, blurring the line between harmless fun and inappropriate behavior. When you’re flirting and they are not sure of the boundaries or if your partner is unhappy with how you are behaving with other men and you continue to behave in that way, it can be very very harmful to your relationship.

9. Protective Over Phone You're bizarrely protective over your phone. The moment your phone lights up is your cue to dramatically contort your body away from him with Cirque du Soleil-level skill. Your protectiveness over your phone could be habit, but it is suspicious behavior. it's not physical or emotional infidelity - but it is still a betrayal of your relationship.

10. Codependency Codependency is an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual’s ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. It's a serious problem for relationships and dynamic of unhealthy relationships. It doesn't simply mean you depend on each other. It means that a person get their sense of self-worth from fixing the other person's messes. This commonly shows up in relationships that involve addicts. Many people find themselves repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns—despite their best intentions.

For so many, Discovering that a person has cheated on you is the point of no return in a relationship. Cheating is complex because the definition varies so widely. However, when someone violates a partner’s expectations, the emotional outcome is the same—their partner feels betrayed and rejected. For many others, these ten things are just as bad , even more harmful than cheating. Think before you do these things to someone. The outcome is never good.
