Recognising Dangerous Relationships

Would you recognise a dangerous relationship? Here's some warning signs:

1. Perfection - if someone can't acknowledge weakness and there's no sharing of vulnerabilities, you'll feel disconnected. Vulnerability equals being real and allows for growth in a person and a relationship

2. Apologies without change of behaviour

3. Demanding trust instead of earning it

Above is a 3 line summary of chapter 2 of the current book I'm reading "Safe People" by Cloud and Townsend and relates very well to the training Chris is giving in a teaching series called "Respect" - dealing with verbal abuse. It's been enlightening but I'll leave Chris to share about that in his blog post.
