Can Your Partner Become Abusive? These 15 Signs Will Let You Know

6. Your partner’s previous relationships were always a “problem”

If your partner always characterizes their past relationship as a problem, or their exes as being selfish, crazy, mean, addicted, or controlling, you need to be very careful, because it’s a red flag.

According to Tina B. Tessina, PhD, a psychotherapist and author of How to Be Happy Partners, if your current partner doesn’t like to take any responsibility for their past relationships, it could be a sign that you’re the next on the list. As Tessina likes to say, a relationship disaster takes two, so you can’t just blame the other person.

Everybody makes mistakes, it’s normal. What’s not normal is always blaming other people and not wanting to take responsibility for your actions.
