15 Signs You’re Having $ex With the Wrong Person

.1. You fantasize about everyone but the
person you’re with.
Fantasizing about and being attracted to other
people is completely normal, but at least some of
those fantasies should involve your other half.
2. You’re not attracted to them.
Need I say more? To connect $exually, you need
to feel attraction toward your partner, whether
it’s on a physical, emotional, or intellectual level.
3. They make you feel bad about your body.
If your partner is behaving in a way that makes
you feel self-conscious, the $ex won’t be half as
good as when you’re with someone who makes
you feel as beautiful as you are.
4. Awkward $ex noises make you wish the
ground would swallow you whole.
Those noises happen and $ex should be fun. Be
with someone who can laugh them off with you.
5. The thought of telling them what you like
(and don’t like) is mortifying…
You’re terrified that they’ll laugh at you or not
care about your needs.
6. …Which means you spend all of foreplay
wishing it could just be over.
Not everyone likes neck-kissing, OK?
7. The $ex is all about them.
Every. Single. Time. A good partner will be just as
willing to please you as you are to please them.
8. You get up an hour before them to apply a
full face of makeup before they wake up.
If they’re not down with your barefaced
beauty, show ’em the door.
9. You’re in a friends-with-benefits situation,
and one of you wants more.
If you’re both willing to keep things casual, then
keep doing what you’re doing. But if one of you
has feelings and the other one doesn’t, it’s a
recipe for disaster.
10. You feel awkward or unhappy afterward.
Euphoric, satisfied, and a little tingly? Great. Sad,
uncomfortable, or awkward? Not so great.
11. Your partner is a douchebag.
This should be a no-brainer. No matter how good
the $ex is, if they treat you badly, it’s just not
worth it. There are plenty of people who are
good in bed and don’t behave like total
douchebags.
12. They refuse to wear a condom when you
ask them to.
See no. 11, above. They definitely fit that criteria.
13. You flinch when they touch you.
Now, sometimes there’s an explanation — you’re
ticklish or have a hands-off zone, perhaps? But if
you’re flinching whenever they touch you, your
body might be trying to tell you something.
14. Your partner doesn’t respect you.
Whether you’re in a relationship or it’s a casual,
friends-with-benefits fling, mutual respect and
trust are musts between you and the person
you’re sleeping with.
15. The $ex is and always has been boring.
“Boring” might be the least $exy adjective, ever.
