(#1) They Stay "Friends" With Their Exes
Studies show that psychopaths like to stay close to their exes. Don't make the mistake, however, of thinking that they are emotionally attached. Rather, psychopaths keep their ex-partners around so that they can use them for sex, money, or other resources. Basically, if your significant other is friends with their ex and constantly hits that person up for rides to the airport, you might be in trouble.
(#2) You Are Always The One To Apologize
Psychopaths don't think that anything is their problem. It is difficult for a psychopath to accept responsibility for anything, which makes for a very frustrating relationship indeed. To matters worse, they also don't feel remorse.
If you are in a relationship with a psychopath, you may find yourself apologizing for things that aren't your fault, or trying to convince your partner to own up to something that they never will.
(#3) They've Been Married More Than Once
If your previously married partner is head-over-heels and demands that you two tie the knot to seal the deal, think twice. Psychopaths tend to have multiple brief marriages, and a serial spouse is a bad sign.
(#4) They Are Constantly Bored
Psychopaths are never interested in anything for very long. They need constant stimulation and new objects to manipulate, and are therefore bored very easily. Psychopaths with partners are likely to be deeply invested at first, and then check out of the relationship quickly. It's basically impossible to hold their attention.
(#5) They Don't Have Any Long Term Goals
It is important that two people in a relationship have similar goals. However, this is pretty much impossible with a psychopath and a mentally healthy person. A psychopath's goals are based on control and manipulation of people and specific circumstances, "plans" that do not extend beyond acquiring immediate resources and favors from others.
They have no long term goals, because once they have gotten what they need from one person, they simply move on to another. They exist in a cycle, not a timeline of personal growth and development.
(#6) They Aren't Sympathetic Or Genuine
Emotional connection is one of the most important elements of a relationship. This, however, is impossible if you are in a relationship with a psychopath. Despite their incredible ability to charm, psychopaths often come across as being shallow or aloof, due to the fact that they can only relate on a superficial level. Their lack of emotional depth prevents them from being an empathetic and caring partner.
(#7) They Lie About Things That Don't Matter
If your partner is constantly lying, they may be doing it in order to stay entertained. See, psychopaths feel no remorse for lying and need to constantly manipulate their environment in order to stay engaged, as they feel no emotional connections. This means that they will lie about completely trivial things just to feel a sense of control over others.
(#8) They Are Very Charming
Psychopaths are not social outcasts, nor are they incapable of finding relationships. In fact, psychopaths tend to be very charming and socially adept, making them attractive to potential partners. A psychopath partner may be unusually good at making people like or agree with them, and they rarely appear awkward. Of course, you shouldn't assume that every charming person you meet is a psychopath. Just try to notice if the charm is all superficial.
(#9) They Constantly Manipulate Others
When you are in a relationship with a psychopath, it can be difficult to see their deportment clearly. Manipulative behavior is the most prevalent trait of psychopathy, so if you have noticed that your partner considers their relationships with others to be a kind of "game" they can play without any kind of emotional consideration, it is likely that they feel the same way about you.
(#10) They Can Be Violent
Psychopaths have a tendency toward violence for multiple reasons. For one, their lack of empathy and desire for control allows them to physically harm others without remorse.
Additionally, they can also have heated outbursts that result in violence, a sudden loss of their coveted self-control that causes them to lash out physically. A history of hurting people or breaking objects can be a huge warning sign of psychopathy.
(#11) They Were A Juvenile Delinquent
Juvenile delinquency is one of the most prevalent traits of psychopathy. Criminal behavior is more common in psychopaths, as they do not feel guilt for their actions. Psychopaths tend to exhibit lack of empathy and criminal behavior early on in life. Additionally, they are far more likely to get caught at a young age before they learn to blend in effectively with the rest of the population.
(#12) They Take Huge Risks
Life is no fun without a little risk, but there are still reasonable limits. Psychopaths take massive risks that others would not. They never doubt themselves, no matter what the stakes.
They are more likely to abuse drugs, drive recklessly, or partake in extreme sports. Dating a psychopath means taking on the stress they can't feel about their unnecessary gambles and dangerous lifestyle.
(#13) They Are Sexually Promiscuous
Everyone has a sexual history, and some are more... colorful than others. But psychopaths tend to be very sexually promiscuous. If your partner is a serial cheater, for example, there may be more than just a short attention span at play. Even if your partner is faithful to you (or claims to be), a markedly, um, prolific sex life in the past suggests larger issues at play.
(#14) They Spend Your Money
To a psychopath, a relationship is an opportunity, not a romantic connection. Therefore, they'd have no problem spending your money or taking your things, because it's your resources that interest them. Psychopaths will live off of your money or otherwise leech what they can for as long as possible.
