It\u2019s one thing to have a bad day and take it out on innocent bystanders but if this is an everyday occurrence for you and your significant other, chances are it\u2019s time to move on.<\/p>\n A great test for jerks is how they treat your loved ones. If they are disrespectful towards them and your friends and family don\u2019t like them, it\u2019s time to re-evaluate why you are with them.<\/p>\n Couples disagree, this is a known fact but if you and your partner are always fighting to a point where you can count the good times on one hand, it\u2019s time to let go. Needless to say if they use you or anyone else as a punching bag, it\u2019s time to let go and then call the cops.<\/p>\n If you are not the only one they are dating and you haven\u2019t given permission for this kind of set-up, your significant other should not be that significant anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI have left my wallet\u201d or \u201cI owe you one again\u201d are some of the most common excuses used by many jerks to get out of paying for anything. If this is a regular occurrence, it might be time to check your relationship status.<\/p>\n One of most obvious signs the person you are dating doesn\u2019t care is when you ask them to be there during a crisis and they are nowhere to be found. In this case they should get lost forever.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s a business venture or idea you run past them or a new hobby you want to take up, if your partner never shows you any support without any valid reasons, they shouldn\u2019t be included in the equation.<\/p>\n Emotional manipulation is a lot harder to decipher from a partner because it is so subtle. If your partner is always threatening you or coercing you to do things you do not want to do, you should get out of that situation.<\/p>\n Your partner shows their true colours with how they treat the people closest to them. If this causes red flags for you, it might be time to go with your gut.<\/p>\n A negative person can be like a cancer to themselves and people around them. If your significant other is always complaining, is aggressive and has a temper to match their negative outlook, chances are high that it\u2019ll rub off on you and you will find yourself leading the misery party with them.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t remember the last time your partner made you feel happy, it\u2019s a sign you might need to find happiness elsewhere.<\/p>\n Most jerks only see their partners as accessories to accompany their own narcissist needs. If your partner only cares for themselves, they probably will never care for anyone else and no, you won\u2019t be able to change them.<\/p>\n![\"giphy](\"https:\/\/albertonrecord.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2016\/02\/giphy-48.gif\")
