Look around you, turn off the lights sit back and think
About yourself and what you do? Are your suspects or acts justified? Put yourself in the other person's shoes and think how would you react?
Try to understand the other person, talk to other people and tell them and ask them what they think.hope this helps. Love.

When all the things you use to enjoy...friends & family, places you hang out, and things that bring contentment is now under your partner control. While their interest is to rob your self esteem, crush your dreams, and isolate you from happiness. That’s toxic and a very unhealthy relationship that is design to break you down to feeling worthless, hopeless, and lonely. It takes two toxic people to create toxicity.

A toxic relationship is one where it has become a source of negativity in your life as opposed to a source of love and support. The signs may not be completely obvious, it can be things as simple as your partner making offhanded comments or being generally dismissive. If you feel as though it just isn't healthy anymore, it may be time to move on.

Its hard to see when you are in a toxic relationship as you are so in love with this person. Relationship abuse can come in many forms: physical, emotional, financial and more. If you feel unhappy or controlled quite often then its a sign things arent great. Your partner should never hurt you physically or emotionally and you should always have a say in your relationship.

I think if this question is being asked there is already some doubt of the relationship being a healthy one. What are the things in your relationship that have prompted you to ask this question? How do you feel about yourself when you are with the other person? How do you feel when you are without the other person? Is there physical abuse? is there trust in your relationship? is there a mutual respect? is there empathy and compassion in your relationship? ask yourself these questions and trust your inner compass. Remember you have the wisdom within yourself to know when something is healthy and good for you, you just have to trust that and take action.

1. It seems like you can’t do anything right.
The other person constantly puts you down as not good enough. They mock your personality, and you feel ashamed most of the time. You only feel pardoned when you take on the traits of the person doing the condemning or judging.
2. Everything is about them and never about you.
You have feelings, too, but the other person won’t hear them. You’re unable to have a two-sided conversation where your opinion is heard, considered and respected. Instead of acknowledging your feelings, they battle with you until they get the last word.
3. You find yourself unable to enjoy good moments with this person.
Every day brings another challenge. It seems as though they are always raising gripes about you. Their attempt to control your behaviour is an attempt to control your happiness.
4. You’re uncomfortable being yourself around that person.
You don’t feel free to speak your mind. You have to put on a different face just to be accepted by that person. You realise you don’t even recognise yourself anymore, and neither do your closest friends and family.
5. You’re not allowed to grow and change.
Whenever you aim to grow and improve yourself, the other person responds with mockery and disbelief. There is no encouragement or support for your efforts. Instead, they keep you stuck in old judgements insisting that you will never be any different than you are now.
If you’re experiencing even just one of these signs, check in with yourself to see if the relationship is doing more damage than good. Evaluate the relationship and what it’s worth to you.

Toxic relationships are usually detected by signs of one or both of the sides feeling unhappy by some aspects of their significant other's behavior. For example, the partner is acting strangely possessive, clingy, has no respect for personal space and privacy and generally makes the other partner feel more unhappy rather than happy. It's true that partners should love each other in good and bad times, but if the bad times overweigh the good, the relationship needs some reconsidering.

If your partner doesn't give you the time and effort you deserve and seems to be doing things for his or her own personal gain without regards of your feelings and needs.. that's one of many tell tail signs. We all should know the basic right and wrong when it comes to relationships and if your gut is telling you that your relationship is a never ending hurt cycle that your giving more than you're getting to the point where it could be soul diminishing.. it probably is or could turn to a toxic relationship.
