When there is a lack of support for one another, toxic communication between one another, and when there is too much jealousy and dishonesty. When both people in the relationship are disrespecting one another and there is so much resentment between them as well. Maybe both people or one of the two are having negative financial behaviors such as withdrawing money from the others account and spending much of it. Maybe there is constant fighting between both people constantly, both or one of them is not meeting with your needs, one or the other is wanting and hoping for change in the relationship.

Well, sometimes your partner could end up putting your feelings aside focusing on their own and not showing they care about you. Sometimes your partner will invalidate your issues making you feel as if they don’t care about you or making you feel as if you’re not important when you are, they could be talking behind your back, or even showing signs of not caring. The main thing about toxic relationships is forcing you to do things you don’t want to do, never give in, stand your ground and let them know you refuse to do so. Hope this helped.

If you feel like you couldn't get out of said relationship even if you wanted to because you feel trapped or like they would do something bad if you tried to leave them, that's usually a good indicator that you are currently in a toxic relationship. Another sign can be if they constantly try to downplay your problems and say that they have it much worse or if they constantly talk about their own experiences and never let you finish talking. If they try to make you do something you're not comfortable doing and won't accept a no, that's also a huge red sign. I know it can be hard to realize if you're in a toxic relationship and even harder to get out of one but you got this!

If you're questioning it, then there's a good chance your relationship isn't as healthy as it should be. A healthy relationship is one where respect, trust and open communication are prevalent everyday and with every interaction between you and your partner. Both parties are treated as equals and are able to make their own choices which the support of their partner. It's important to ask yourself how you are feeling within the relationship. Are you as happy as you know you could be? Are there any actions that your partner is doing to cause a power imbalance? Trust your gut here, you deserve everything you want and aren't asking for too much for them to step up their game.

Toxic relationships can vary from person to person, however, you will usually see some common red flags, as we call them. One of them is that the other person always invalidates your feelings. Imagine if your partner, the person who you are supposed to trust and find comfort in always tells you that your struggles don't matter or that you are overreacting. That is seriously a red flag, that indicates toxicity. Moreover, another red flag is when your partner has some abusive tendencies. Are they trying to control you, are they being overly "overprotective", do they get jealous every time you mention something good happened in your life that doesn't include them? These are all some common practices of toxic people in relationships. I hope this helped you in some kind of way! You should never stay in a toxic relationship there are hotlines for you to get help and escape!

It's hard to say every relationship is different and each person would view a relationship differently. However if you are in a relationship which you are not happy in and this continues to make you unhappy and depressed then this could be viewed as toxic but only you can decide its toxic and only you can leave that relationship, so.e people would call domestic violence or general bullying a toxic relationship however I would say this is totally different, you could be just in a relationship with someone that you just don't love and have totally different interests and this could lead to a unbearable relationship

Because, quite simply, you'll feel like crap - a lot of the time! Even if you're so conditioned to it you're now at the stage where you're actually unaware of the fact. They put you down, they use you, they call you stupid or fat or accuse you of not trying to understand them. They gaslight you (it's all your fault or all in your head, you choose) they are with you when it's ultra convenient for them or you frequently go without hearing from them, unless they get the 'urge' to hear from you, if you get my drift. You, on the other hand, go out of your way to accommodate them, you tell yourself; 'hey, they're worth a little pain, a little aggravation', even when your friends tell you they ain't! You ignore all the signs, just to make yourself feel better, cos you're never going to meet someone who makes you feel the way they do ever again....! This is a tough rut to be in and it's only when you choose to step outside this hell that you'll see things for what they really were. And trust me when I say, that's when you'll get really angry with yourself, for what you let yourself go through. But you're stronger than you think and you don't need this person in your life. Bin them off and don't look back. Cliche as hell tho it is, LIFE'S TOO SHORT.

Signs of a toxic relationship include lack of trust, controlling behaviors, and feeling drained. Both partners can fix a toxic relationship if they try therapy, reflective listening, and honesty. If you are in an abusive relationship, call the National Domestic Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE. If a relationship stops bringing joy, and instead consistently makes you feel sad, angry, anxious or “resigned, like you've sold out,” it may be toxic, Glass says. You may also find yourself envious of happy couples. Fuller says negative shifts in your mental health, personality or self-esteem are all red flags, toToxic traits refer to habits, behaviors, and ongoing actions that harm others. Many toxic traits (like self-centeredness) can be subtle, and we want to see the best in people. Naturally, identifying toxic people in your life can be tricky. But toxic individuals are more common than you may think.

There are usually some clear signs to indicate whether or not your relationship could be bad for you. Do you feel safe with your partner? Do you trust them? If not, are these things you could discuss and solve with them? If not, this could be a sign that this relationship is not right for you.
