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

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.(Unsplash) 6
