1. Lots of Hostility

Is your relationship filled with hostility? Is it something that is constantly flowing between you and your partner? This is one of the top warning signs of a toxic relationship. There shouldn't be hostility in a relationship, there should be something fun and a relationship should be something that you enjoy being in, not something you dread.

2. Dirty Fighting

Is there constant name calling? Constant insults? Is the past constantly being thrown up? That's all dirty fighting and it isn't something that should ever be in a relationship. If you are with someone and you love them, you need to discuss things, not scream at each other and be ugly to each other.

3. Criticism

Is there a constant snide criticism that seems to always be in your relationship? That isn't right! There is a time and place for criticism and it shouldn't be in your relationship. Remember, the person that you love is someone that you should accept too, the good and bad. If you have an issue with your partner, talk about it!

4. Avoiding Problems

Do you constantly avoid the problems that rise up in your relationship? Do you just put them off and don't bring them up again until you are fighting about them? That's a pattern and one that isn't healthy and that you shouldn't keep up. You should attempt to work out all of your problems as they come up. This is where the discussion piece should come in!

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. You Aren't Yourself

Do you change your opinions and constantly switch up how you feel when your partner does? That isn't being you! You need to be your own person, even if you are in a relationship. Don't ever lose that. Never, ever change your opinion for anyone! If your partner can't accept you for you, why are you in a relationship with them at all?

6. Your Family Doesn't like Your Relationship

Does your family see how you and your partner treat each other? Do they like the relationship that you have built together? Do they constantly tell you that you can do better and that you should be able to do better? Well, that's a warning sign! Your family should like your relationship, how your partner treats you and how you treat your partner. There should be some kind of mutual respect there.

7. Lots of Guilt Trips

Finally, as far as the guilt trips, do you have a ton of them in your relationship? T hat could be one of the major warning signs that you and your partner are in a toxic relationship. I know it's hard to believe, but you shouldn't ever have to feel guilty in a relationship.

Toxic relationships are hard to get out of and even harder to identify. Have you ever been in a toxic relationship? Have you tried to get out of it?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I don't remember being involved in this toxic relationships. If we have such demand of emotional world, we all need time to realize the best way to explore emotions, and that doesn't mean understading our partner fucked up insecurities and unrealization in life that can hurt us. or standing by until the good moment comes. just learn to be happy with yourself.. it is achievable.

What should I say I feel I'm in one right now but it's not just a relationship it's a marriage, but I don't want to leave him, because I love him way too much. We have been married for a year but we have a fight at least every other day and its always my fault in his eyes. He's a guy who is greatest in my eyes but he has a dark side,but he has a good heart.

Thanks :) he's just not the man I loved when we started dating. I think a lot of it has to deal with his job, but that's not going away anytime soon. Hopefully we will be able to work things out peacefully.

These are pretty true. But also quite obvious. I think it's the subtle things which lead to toxicity that are the most damaging....

That's like me n my ex yeh it's so true~

I'm in one now

13 years in one but I've reached my breaking point and have had enough. My kids and i deserve better. I just hope I can be strong enough to see it through.
