1. Weight Loss

This is probably one of the most common signs your bad relationship is affecting your life. Are you constantly losing weight? Are you constantly slimming down without meaning to? Do you drop weight in no time at all, just because of the stress of your relationship? Watch out for this girls, it might be nice to lose the weight, but you want to do it the healthy way and this is unhealthy.

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

2. Depression

Depression is another common sign that your bad relationship is affecting your life. Do you even want to go out of the house? Do you constantly feel down and can't remember exactly what joy and happiness feel like anymore? These are things to watch out for.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

3. Constant Crying

Crying is something that a lot of people experience when they are in a fight in a relationship, but if you are crying every day, every night and at random times, is that normal? No! You shouldn't constantly feel like you need to cry, your relationship should make you happy, not this stressed out!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

4. Walking on Eggshells

Do you have a constant feeling that you can't speak your mind? That if you do, it'll only upset your partner and then it'll turn into a huge fight? Truthfully, you should be able to be honest in your relationship and if you are always walking on eggshells, it can bleed into your life outside of your relationship too.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. No Self Esteem

Your self esteem can be extremely hard to build up, but it can also be really fragile once you do. If you are losing your self esteem because your partner is constantly putting you down, that's not a good feeling. It's also not healthy – at all.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

6. Secluded

Remember when I said that with depression, you don't want to go out? Well, being secluded actually holds true as well. This is when you don't even want to leave the house. Doing anything is an huge inconvenience for you and can even make you feel sick!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

7. Being Pulled in Too Many Directions

When you are in a really bad relationship, you can feel like you are constantly being pulled in too many directions. This is especially true if your partner is needy and is always pulling your attention away. Remember, you need to slow down and take time for yourself too.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

8. Weight Gain

While some people might lose weight, weight gain is another common sign that your bad relationship is affecting your life. If you are an emotional eater, you could constantly be eating everything in sight and you can't quit. That's how you deal with being in your relationship. That's hard!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

9. Moodiness

Finally, how are your moods? Are they constantly swinging from one end of the spectrum to the next? That alone could be a sign that your relationship is not stable and that you are fearing for something – and that it's affecting your life.

So girls, these are all of my signs that your unhealthy relationship is affecting your life. What other signs are out there? Give them up!

    @Leone Lobos I know I can't possibly give you an answer but I think I understand your struggles. However it goes, keep in mind that it is possible to help somebody you love even outside of a relationship. I'm not suggesting that you should leave your partner but if your feel that your life is going out of tracks, you won't do any good to yourself and definitely you won't be able to help him anymore. I also think that is important to be involved in whatever treatment he is following. Sometimes depression is kept as an individual matter even within a couple, but the truth is that it will affect both parts. Keep strong

    Unfortunately, I've experienced two bad relationships in a row :( With my first one during the summer before my senior year in high school, I felt tense all the time, wasn't eating much, and I developed dark circles under my eyes (which never happens to me). After I left that relationship, I got panic attacks. With my last relationship towards the end of my senior year of high school through most of my first year at college, I couldn't eat, I got violently sick to my stomach just seeing his name on my phone or whenever I'd go to see him or him to see me. I was sick like this only around him for 4 months straight and for about a month before I chose to breakup with him I was crying about every night. It's a terrible feeling, for sure. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will find a guy that I will be 100% comfortable with who will treat me with the respect I deserve.

    With my relationship, we have our ups and downs. Sometimes we're great but other times its horrible. He is an angry drunk and when he does drink I have to watch everything I say. Even when I don't say anything he finds a way to get angry at me. I'm constantly walking on eggshells. We're recently engaged and I know we love each other but idk how to talk to him because every time I try, he gets mad.

    I am in this train, but what can I do when my partner of four years is living with clinical depression? I don't want to break up, he always was there for me, loving and supportive in my problems. But life got terrible the last 8 months. What can I do?
