One user has a simple test:

Simple: Lets say your gf/bf wants you to go to football game with them because they want to do this with you and it means a lot to them.

Now, You hate football and that activity is total 5-6 hours on Saturday.

Now, if you feel that 6 hours of activity with your loved one is worth it even if you are not into said activity then you are doing fine but if the answer is a no then your relationship is in trouble

When the period where you wonder if it's time to leave has become longer than the period when you were happy to stay, it's time to say goodbye.

And a helpful tip from a waitress:

I'm a waitress. Usually when he orders for her, or he gets a giant meal and she eats nothing I get suspicious.

If talking about your own relationship, watch for subtle signs of control. Sometimes they're not just taking interest in what you're up to.
