Learning that you are the side chick in a relationship can be an emotionally draining experience. You can get the feeling that you are being used, taken for granted, or betrayed.
If you suspect that your partner is a player and you are the side chick in his game, there are some telltale signs that can help you.
It’s important, however, to remember that every relationship is different, and these signs do not conclusively mean that you are a side chick. If you have strong doubts, it’s important to have a discussion with your partner about the nature of your relationship.
1. He Is Secretive About Your Relationship
One of the most obvious signs that you might be the side chick in your relationship is if your man doesn’t want people to know that you two are dating.
Does he avoid being seen with you in public? And when he finally agrees to take you on a date, does he take you out of town to destinations where you have zero chances of running into anyone he knows? Well, you might be the side chick.
The frequent Naivasha road trips or Diani getaways could either mean that he might be the most romantic man in Kenya, or you are just dating a very calculating married man who doesn’t want you to run into his wife and in-laws.
2. You Know Very Little About Him
Your partner being very stingy with information about himself is another sign you are his side chick.
If you have no idea where he lives and you always meet at your place, then that’s a clue that you are not the main woman in his life.
