How do I know if I'm in a toxic relationship?

if you're in a toxic relationship you are constantly on and off and you feel control my your significant partner . also he/she constantly will hurt you and put the blame on you and expect for you to forgive them and act like nothing happened. they will make you super upset and then run back always. they will bring you down and then try building you back up just to break you again. but you are better then that and you deserve better so build your walls and go be the amazing,beautiful,talented,wonderful girl that you are :) you deserve it.

This is a great question, and it's something I have personal experience with. How do you feel after you talk to/hang out with the person? Do they make you feel happy or drained most of the time? If it feels like being with this person is depleting your energy instead of building you back up or nourishing you, it is likely toxic. Remember-a relationship requires give and take from both sides. If you feel that you are giving (or taking) more than your partner, it is likely toxic. (Please note that I am not a therapist and do not know your individual situation.) Hope this helps!

Some of the red flags... 1. They don't care about you as much as you care for them. Meaning that they don't respect you or try to understand your opinions or values. 2. Negative behaviour. If they're yelling, always fighting and having arguments with you because of their own personal problems. 3. If there is a lack of communication. 4. Lack of trust. 5. Controlling behaviour. If they try to influence your decisions or try to control everything you do. For example: the people you hang out with or the ones you're friends with. The things you do and other.

You are in a toxic relationship if - it stops bringing you happiness and instead triggers anger, fear, sadness, and other negative emotions - attending to your partner gets in the way of taking care of yourself - other aspects of your life suffer as a result of it - your partner invades your privacy - you are made to believe you are in the wrong all the time - you are forced to take the blame for things you shouldn't have to - you feel like you can't talk to your partner about how you are feeling - you feel the need to lie to your partner and many other awful things. It might not be easy to get out of a toxic relationship but it is possible, and being able to recognize the signs of one is an integral first step. It's easy to feel helpless, alone, and trapped in a toxic relationship, but you are never alone. There will always be people willing to support you, especially on 7cups.

Well if you are in a toxic relationship then your heart will said to you that you are frustrated with this relationship and you feel like that it is so toxic to be in this relationship. The next thing is that you will feel like that when you had started the relationship you were so happy but now you feel like that it is normal not that exciting and happy.The third thing is that when you have to sacrifice always no matter what and you have to compromise with your choices everytime then it means that it is a toxic relationship.

By asking yourself that, you probably are. There are many signs and red flags that are not noticeable but are very dangerous. Things like constantly being controlling, not taking blame, even lying about small things, never apologizing for anything, etc. Many people realize they are in toxic relationships too late, so staying close to friends and asking for advice is a sure step to figuring out if you are in a toxic relationship. I would say if you suspect you are in a toxic relationship with someone, friendship wise or romantically, you would feel down everytime you hangout with them. Maybe they make comments about your appearance and slowly but surely those little comments get stuck in your head. Things like that are simple things to look out for, that can make your relationship with that person toxic and damaging towards you.

If your partner is making you feel like you are walking on eggshells on everything you do, then there is a high chance that you are in a toxic relationship. Your partner should make you feel like the best version of yourself, and you should be happy when you are with them. It is important to know that you should be happy, and everyone deserves to be happy, so if you are not feeling that happiness when you are with you partner, you are in a toxic relationship. No person is worth your happiness, and no person should make you feel like you are inferior to them. You are important, remember that.

I know because it doesn't take me anywhere. I cannot achieve my goals. I just stay there and my feelings mean nothing to my partner. In a toxic relationship there is no place for growth, sharing or empathy. It is all about my partner, not me. Nothing really important changes along the time when I am in toxic relationship. I am always pleasing my partner, not myself. I know that I am in a toxic relationship because I do not seem to be able to get out of it but at the same time, I am not happy in it.

I think even asking the question is an amazing step to finding out the answer! And think about what it was that made the thought occur to you in the first place. Was it a one-time event from your significant other, something you will ultimately forgive, or a series of behaviors that might suggest a trend. From my experience, I learned after the fact that I should have listened to the people I trust the most. For me, I was knee-deep in it and couldn't see things objectively. I thought I felt happy in the relationship, but when friends and family both approached me with unsolicited feedback and potential concerns, I wish I had listened at the time. I learned a lot from that relationship, and I did grow from it, but at the same time it wasn't actually healthy for me. And my friends and family knew me better than I knew myself at the time. So, while you're in it, it may be hard to spot, but it is helpful to listen to what people who love you are observing, and don't get defensive if they do comment. Take their feedback along with your personal experience and observations, and see if that helps you answer your own question. But a truly amazing step just to put the question out there and make sure you are doing what's best for you long-term. Good luck!!

It can be a hard scenario for the person believing that they are in a tough spot. However, the fault may not always be on your behalf. Do you find yourself being blamed for doing what is best for yourself and still trying to be a good friend? do you find that you are not being able to have a good friend in return? Is the other party making you feel drained and worse than before? these could very well be tell tale signs of something coming amiss in the relationship. These are some things that are massive red flags in the sense that it could be budding codependency on the other person's end and a symptom of them not being able to manage their mental and emotional wellbeing.
