Toxic behavior

@Saphirefly

Toxic behavior can be subtle or obvious. When you're in a toxic relationship, you're going to either sense it within yourself, your man, or the relationship as a whole. Toxicity can manifest itself in a few different ways including but not limited to:

1. A pullback or reversal of support or connection. Once where they were your cheerleader, now they couldn't care less and do not go out of their way to help or support your initiatives or plans.
2. Resentment is usually present, which includes holding onto grudges, keeping score, or harboring negative feelings about past situations between you that were never really resolved between both of you.
3. Dishonesty is also present, and some of the lies can be ridiculous and light, but still deception.
4. Jealousy, especially when it's over the top or out of control. A little bit of jealousy can be ok, but more than a little bit is usually a huge sign of mental and emotional immaturity (with either partner) and in some situations can bring about toxicity into your relationship
5. Controlling, Manipulating, Ghosting, Gaslighting - are all behaviors that are tied directly to toxicity in relationships. These are symptoms, not core causes.
6. Bad Financial Control, Impulsive Spending
7. Local or Distant Sudden Changes in Relationships
8. Work or Professional Issues, which includes getting fired or reduced hours at work, write-ups for disciplinary issues.
9. Cheating, emotional or physical
10. Not taking care of oneself
11. Cautious to bring up any issues because you fear a fight
-- Note that a lot of these above, 1-11 can present themselves usually in a pattern of behaviors, there may be a few or more, but not necessarily ALL of them to signify a toxic relationship.

Here is an excellent resource on the topic for your two other questions.
Mental Abuse & Emotional Abuse

If you are wondering, curious, or thinking you may be in a negative situation, I do encourage you to write down or type up a list of those items that you resonate with or identify within your relationship. If you do this, you'll then tally up the issues and come to terms with the reality of how much of these items are present within your relationship.

Then the next step after that would be to take significant action to protect yourself.
