Signs That You Are In A Toxic Relationship

January 28, 2023

"A toxic relationship is one where there is a consistent pattern of negative behaviors that are harmful to both partners. It is a relationship characterized by a lack of respect, trust, and communication."

Do you feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells around your partner? Do you make excuses for their behavior or feel like you cannot do anything right?


If so, you may be in a toxic relationship.


A toxic relationship is one where there is a consistent pattern of negative behaviors that are harmful to both partners. It is a relationship characterized by a lack of respect, trust, and communication.


And you must not forget that a toxic relationship can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, race, or social status.


So, what are some signs that you may be in a toxic relationship?


There are many signs, and if you notice any of these signs, it is crucial to reach out for help.


* You are constantly walking on eggshells

It is a sign that something is wrong if you feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells around your partner. You should be able to relax and be yourself around the person you're with. But in a toxic relationship, you find yourself tiptoeing around your partner, worried about saying or doing the wrong thing.


And it is not just that you are worried about their reaction - you are also constantly anxiety-ridden about the state of the relationship itself. Are they going to break up with me? Is this going to be the end?


Walking on eggshells is exhausting, and it is not how a healthy relationship should be.


* Your partner is constantly putting you down

One of the most common signs of a toxic relationship is when your partner always puts you down. They may criticize everything you do, from how you dress to how you eat. And over time, this constant criticism can take a toll on your self-esteem and make you feel worthless.


This is not how a partner is supposed to make you feel. A healthy relationship is built on mutual respect, not tearing each other down.


* Your partner doesn't listen to you

In a healthy relationship, your partner should be interested in hearing about your day and your thoughts and feelings. But in a toxic relationship, you may find that your partner does not listen to you.


They may interrupt you when you are talking, or they may change the subject to something more interesting to them. This can make you feel like your thoughts and feelings do not matter and can be very frustrating.


* Your partner is constantly demanding your attention

In a healthy relationship, both partners should have their own lives outside of the relationship. But in a toxic relationship, you may find that your partner is constantly demanding your attention.


They may get jealous if you talk to other people or if you spend time on activities that do not involve them. They may want to know where you are and what you are doing at all times, and they may get angry if you do not answer their calls or texts right away.


* Your partner is constantly making excuses for their behavior

In a healthy relationship, both partners are accountable for their actions. But in a toxic relationship, you may find that your partner is constantly making excuses for their behavior - no matter how hurtful.


They may blame their drinking problem on their childhood or a lousy day at work or say that their cheating was your fault because you weren't giving them enough attention.


No matter the excuse, it is never okay to hurt your partner - and if your partner is constantly making excuses, it is a sign that something is wrong.


* Your partner is controlling

Another sign of a toxic relationship is when one partner tries to control the other. This can manifest in many ways, such as demanding to know where you are at all times, telling you what to wear, or trying to control how you spend your time. This kind of behavior is unhealthy and can be very dangerous.


* Your partner is physically or emotionally abusive

One of the most evident signs that you are in a toxic relationship is if your partner is physically or emotionally abusive. This kind of behavior is never okay, and it is crucial to get out of an abusive relationship as soon as possible.


* You feel like you cannot do anything right

In a healthy relationship, you should feel like your partner supports you and believes in you. But in a toxic relationship, it can feel like you cannot do anything right. Your partner may make you feel like you're not good enough or that you're not doing things the right way.


* You are always fighting

All couples fight from time to time, but it can feel like you are constantly fighting in a toxic relationship. The fights may be about anything and everything, and they can often be very heated and emotional. This constant fighting can take a toll on both partners and leave you feeling drained.


* Your partner is constantly making you feel guilty

In a toxic relationship, your partner may try to make you feel guilty about everything. They may guilt you into doing things you do not want to do, or they may try to make you feel guilty for their bad behavior. This kind of manipulative behavior is unhealthy and can be very damaging.


If you notice any of these signs in your relationship, it is crucial to reach out for help. Many resources are available to help you deal with a toxic relationship, and you don't have to deal with this alone.


Remember, your safety is always the most important thing - so if you are in an abusive relationship, get out as soon as possible.


And if you are just in an unhealthy or unhappy relationship, reach out for help to find a way out.
