8 Reasons Your Partner Hates You (And What To Do About It)

8 Reasons Your Partner Hates You (And What To Do About It)

Your partner used to show their love for you all the time. Just looking into their eyes would tell you that they loved you. But now, they can hardly look at you. Ugh, what? It feels like the love is gone and you don’t know what to do. First things first, let’s break down why your partner hates you by checking out these eight reasons. Then, we’ll do some damage control so you can try to get your relationship back on track.

1. You Cheated On Them.

If you betrayed your partner, chances are they’re angry right now and probably hate you. They’re dealing with many difficult emotions and might even be wondering if there’s a point to continuing the relationship. It’s time to be honest with them and talk about the cheating incident so you can work through the issues. But, you might have to wait a while for your partner to be ready to do this. In some cases, they might never get over the trauma, which could end your relationship.

2. You’re A Selfish GF.

Maybe you’re always choosing your needs over your partner’s. Maybe you like to do your own thing and don’t really think much about what your partner wants, down to only seeing them when it’s convenient for you. Your partner might be fed up and hating you for treating them like they’re at the bottom of your priority list. It’s time to change and show them how much you love them. Be a better listener, ask your partner about their needs, and work on compromising so that you both get your needs met.

4. They’re Interested In Someone Else.

Maybe you’re not the problem for why your partner hates you. They might be into someone else. SMH. So, instead of ending the relationship and being with the other person, they’re dragging the relationship along and treating you badly, like with silence or snappy comments. Do you try to communicate with them about the situation and wait for them to decide if they want to be with you or the other person, or do you cut your losses because you deserve better? Hmmm.

5. The Honeymoon Phase Is Over.

Everything feels amazing during the first few weeks of your relationship, then reality sets in and people’s true colors show. Maybe your partner isn’t happy in the relationship and they’re showing it by being irritable or moody, or going AWOL. Ugh. Touch base with your partner and speak to them about what they want from the relationship and what future they see for it. It’s not as fun as when you’d lie in a hammock under the stars and cuddle, but you have to deal with the reality of the relationship to see if you have a future or not.

6. Your Previous Conflict Is Unresolved.

You and your partner had a huge fight recently and you never found a solution. You’re both walking around with this heavy fight hanging over you. It sucks. Chat about the conflict and listen to each other’s perspectives to try to reach some middle ground. Discuss your instant relationship deal breakers and consider walking away if what your partner did has violated your trust or conflicts with your morals. In these cases, leaving the relationship could be the healthier option for you.

7. They’re Going Through A Major Crisis.

It could be that your partner’s going through a difficult time that has nothing to do with you. Maybe they’re grieving the loss of someone in their family or they’ve lost their job. Show your support for them so they know you’re there to listen to them vent and help them. However, if you’re showing your support but the person’s shutting you out or treating you with hatred, you have to wonder if they’re taking it out on you. That’s not cool!

8. They Expect Too Much From You.

Does it sometimes feel like you can’t seem to make your partner happy or that they have sky-high expectations that you can’t seem to meet? Maybe they treat you like a human doormat because they take, take, take. This isn’t fair and if you’re being treated badly because they feel you’re not good enough, that’s total BS! Honestly, the best way to deal is to walk away and find someone who sees that you’re exactly what they need.

9. They Hate Themselves.

Another reason why your partner could be behaving like they hate you which has nothing to do with you is if they actually hate themselves. They might be saddled with insecurities and low self-esteem that causes them not to love themselves. Although being supportive can help them to see their worth, it’s not cool if they’re sabotaging the relationship because they don’t feel that they deserve it. Phew. Hopefully, they’ll be open to getting help from a therapist so that they don’t trash the relationship.
