Who are they and why you should lose them a.s.a.p.
HAVERFORD, Pa., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Spouse, partner or significant other -- a loser can be anyone whose personality, attitudes, or behavior is damaging your life. A loser dating relationship can lead to years of heartache and emotional problems; therefore, this Valentine's Day -- wake up and smell the roses.
As explained by Alice Donavin, LCSW, a Professional Life Coach and Psychotherapist in Haverford, PA and Palm Beach, Florida (610.585.4028), who specializes in "loser"* relationships and regularly makes house and office calls, "The loser has character traits and behaviors that create emotional, social, sometimes even physical damage. As they've always lived with this personality, they often simply accept it as 'the way they are' and do not see a problem. In my years of psychotherapy and counseling practice, it has invariably and unfortunately been the victims of the loser whom I've treated. The men and women who arrive at the office severely depressed with their lives in turmoil. If only the losers themselves would recognize the problem and come in for help!"
But how can you identify a loser? There are definitive patterns and indicators. If the person you're wondering about possesses even one of the following warning signs, there is risk in the relationship.
1. He or she says, "I love you" way too soon.
The loser is quick to attach and even quicker to express their devotion. In less than a few weeks of dating, you'll hear that you're the love of their life and they want to marry you. Showered with attention and nice gestures, you may be overwhelmed by this display of instant connection or commitment. They may in fact be the best thing that ever happened to you, but truly great, healthy relationships take time -- at least more than a few weeks.
