5 Ways To Tell You're Definitely Living With A Psychopath

5. They Always Have A New Man/Woman On The Go

You know the one - for the third time this fortnight, they've gone from 'In A Relationship' to 'Single' to 'It's Complicated' straight back to a relationship on Facebook, and next week they'll be single and publicly announcing a new love as casually as they'd Instagram their lunch. Lack of commitment fits in with two points on the Psycho Checklist: "Many Short Term Relationships" and "Promiscuous Sexual Behaviour." Psychopaths are sexy: their charm is irresistible and they're passionate lovers due to an intense focus on their desired targets, so it's not all bad... This fascination with a lover, however, is a ticking time bomb. Ever dated someone who acted like you were made for them one week, and then - BAM - you're a stranger in the post office queue the next? Hot and cold behaviour can happen when a psychopath gets what they want? If you need them more than they need you, the sheen will soon wear off. A psycho wants a relationship on their terms; so if you're happily accepting their requests to eat from the floor while they sit at the table, they'll soon find a new toy to play wit, and there's little hope that you'll be able to convince them to go all Christian Grey and abandon their dark side for a bit of tender, nurturing love. People of a psychopathic nature often tend to have a colourful history of brief, superficial affairs and multiple relationships at the same time. They also take great pride in bragging about their sexual exploits, who they've pulled, where they pulled, along with every dirty detail - or in other words, the ultimate TMI-overdose. So, maybe bear this all in mind next time you're browsing dating sites.
