Relationships are built on emotional connections but sometimes these relationships become unbalanced. Especially when one partner constantly imposes his emotional pressure on the other for every small and big thing instead of controlling himself and his emotions, then this situation is called emotional dumping in the relationship.

This can make the other person in the relationship feel tired, unheard, and even frustrated. How do you know if you are a victim of emotional dumping in your relationship?

Psychologist, relationship expert, and sexologist Dr. Pavana S has talked about many situations that indicate that you are facing emotional dumping.

1. Does your partner constantly talk about his or her problems and concerns without asking about yours? This is a red flag that indicates that only one person in the relationship is sharing his or her things without caring about the other person, which indicates an imbalance in emotional support in the relationship. 

2. Is your partner completely dependent on you for emotional support and in return rarely understands or supports your situation? A healthy relationship involves emotional support from both sides, not one-sidedness.

3. Do you often feel emotionally exhausted after a conversation with your partner? This points towards the negative impact of emotional dumping which makes you weak and spoils your emotional health.

4. Do you feel that when you try to share your feelings, they are brushed aside or dismissed as unnecessary or trivial? This dismissive behavior shows a lack of respect and empathy for your emotional needs. This is a red flag in a relationship.

5. Does the relationship feel like you are the one constantly listening or caring while your partner is a complete emotional dumper? A healthy relationship is built on equality and mutual cooperation. It should not be the case that one is a caregiver and the other is a dependent patient.  

Negative Effects of Emotional Dumping on Relationships
Emotional dumping can have harmful consequences for both the individual and the relationship. Due to this, a person constantly has to face emotional pressure, pressure, and negativity instead of love and care from his partner. 

This situation for a long time creates resentment and dissatisfaction towards the relationship which can lead to breakup.
