7 Definite Signs Your Partner Couldn't Care Less About You

Abusive, controlling, selfish individuals or addicts are in a world all their own.  They aren't the least bit interested in what is going on with those around them unless their experiences impact their wallets, roof over their head, and other comforts that they enjoy.

Cross an abuser and he or she will not hesitate to show you just how much the thrill is gone, they could care less.  Some abusive men and women will show off their new partners or leave evidence that they are on the prowl just to anger you just as much as they feel you have upset them.  Oh these uncaring people, know how to fake concern when they aren't quite ready to give you up.

As long as you are willing to make them feel good again, you are a keeper, but when you don't, they reason, "Why should I give a d*mn?  My partner isn't doing anything that makes me feel special."  Despite all the time and money spent, requests addressed, abusive people couldn't care less.

Since actions speak louder than words, how do you know your partner doesn't care for you like he or she claims?

1) You are hurting, bruised, in pain, or bloody and he or she offers little or no assistance.  One's partner is more concerned about covering your wounds up or pushing you to put on a great act around others. The abuser is overly concerned about image and what others may think.

2)  You have spent most if not all of your money paying household bills, gifts for the family, etc. and he or she doesn't bother to ask any questions and will not help you out of debt.  He or she blames you ad tells you shouldn't have done those things if you expected some help.  The abuser ignores your concerns.

3)  Your partner ignores or ridicules you for being physically ill or emotionally upset.  In his or her eyes you are faking, over-the-top, or crazy.  Abusers don't consider their actions or inactions are catalysts as to why one would react or respond negatively to them.

4)  He or she doesn't bother to express genuine gratitude or appreciation and doesn't like it when you do some things for him or her.  No matter what you say or do your cold-hearted partner will sooner or later find fault with or without a smile.

5)  Your mate doesn't genuinely celebrate your achievements.  He or she puts on an act and you know it, but you overlook the lack of expression.

6)  When you go out with your partner, take a photo with him or her, or attempt to communicate, you can clearly see he or she is unhappy being with you.

7) From a family emergency to an accident, the abuser is more concerned about the inconvenience it has caused him or her, but doesn't show much concern for your well-being.

Abusive men and women rarely show care unless of course there are watchful eyes around.  They know how to fake tears, alter their voices, and behave as if they love their family very much, but those of us who have been abused by them know better.

Before you assume that an abuser really loves, respects, and appreciates you, think again!  Some of these men and women are masters at manipulating anyone into believing what they want--what you see isn't what you see and what you need isn't what you need like someone sincerely loving you for you.
