    What is emotional dumping? 5 signs to recognise it in a relationship

    Emotional dumping is the unhealthy practice of dumping emotions on another person without considering their boundaries or seeking their consent. Usually in a relationship, emotional dumping happens from one partner. “Unlike healthy emotional sharing, where both parties are engaged in a balanced exchange, emotional dumping is more one-sided. The individual doing the dumping may not be open to receiving feedback, or they may overlook the impact their outpouring has on the listener. This can leave the listener feeling overwhelmed, burdened, or emotionally drained,” wrote Therapist Linda Meredith. Here are a few signs of emotional dumping that we should be aware of.6

    Unsure about your relationship? Ask these 5 questions to yourself

    In a relationship, certainty develops over a period of time. It is natural to be unsure of the partner in the initial stages of the relationship. However, if you are still unsure of the relationship even after a long period of time, it is important to reconsider. “Many people will struggle to be completely certain, not because it’s the wrong relationship or person, but simply because there are not many unknowns. With that in mind I would say, don’t aim for certain but rather, aim for contentment,” wrote Therapist Lucille Shackleton. Here are a few questions to ask ourselves when we feel that we are not sure of the partner and the relationship.6

    In a relationship, we have our own sets of needs, wants and expectations. However, the expectations we have in a relationship should be reasonable. "You are allowed to have expectations- and should have expectations- in your relationship. Expecting to get diamonds every anniversary? Well, that’s not a fair expectation. Expecting your partner will know what you’re thinking about being told? Also not a fair expectation. But wishing you’d receive some comfort when you’re sad? That’s a fair expectation (and a need)," wrote Psychotherapist Emily H Sanders.6
