Why you always end up as a side chick in every relationship

If you find yourself repeatedly in the role of the "side chick" in relationships, it might be time to reflect on the patterns and choices that contribute to this situation.

Ending up as the side chick in multiple relationships can be a sign of underlying issues with self-worth, communication, and relationship choices.

In some cases, not communicating your expectations and desires at the beginning of a relationship can lead to misunderstandings about the nature of the relationship.

If you've been the side chick before, the familiarity of the role might make it easier to slip into the same pattern in subsequent relationships, even if it's unfulfilling.

If you're not upfront about wanting a committed, exclusive relationship, the other person might assume you're okay with a more casual setup.

Ignoring early signs that someone is not willing to commit fully can lead you to become the side chick.

Low self-esteem might lead you to believe that you don't deserve a full, committed relationship.
