Controlling loud jealous demanding isolation won't let you communicate always has to keep badgering or keeping their voice going so you can't say a word basically you already know it that's the reason why you're asking the question because you already feel it down deep don't get caught in a rut with this person because you will never get out of it if it is bad now it just gets worse so get out of it now there's nothing you can do to save this relationship I said look at everything in detail look at facial expressions body movement body language tone of voice and if it's not right get out of it

And if you really want to know who that person is watch the way he treats his friends watch the way he talks to his friends how he talks to his friends what he says about his friends that will tell you everything and just remember this if it's all bad when it comes time for you if you wanted to get away or you guys start arguing it's going to be 10 times worse

What are the signs a woman is toxic as fuck:

1. worries about shit way too early on and tells you her concerns only after she has been gossiping all over the internet and with her friends and family and already formed an opinion.

2. Thinks a man who cares about her enough to encourage her not to self harm is “controlling” or “emotionally abusive”.

3. Enjoys getting treated like shit but becomes extremely anxious and looks for problems where there are none when she is treated too well by a guy

1. He starts inputting on what you should wear and not wear.

2. He starts isolating you from your friends and family.

3. He shows lots of jealousy and tries to keep you from talking to any guy.

4. He puts you down a lot and makes snide remarks about things that you do and make it seem like jokes when really it's a manipulative tactic to keep you down.

5. Lying and cheating.

These are just a few examples. There are way more but these are the most common ones that I can think of.

• Controls your social circle
• Controls your diet/fitness
• Monitors your phone bill/credit card bill
• Keeps you away from family/friends and keeps you all to himself
• What he says is what goes
• doesn’t keep his promises
• He gets jealous of other guys but he’s okay to talk to other women coz they’re just friends
• he acted all nice to your family but shows his true colours only to you

* limits your time/connection/communication with friends and family

* Attempts to monopolize your time or make unreasonable demands of it

* Cannot hold an honest or vulnerable conversation, tries to change subject or gets angry/defensive even if you're not trying to blame or fight

* Gaslights (tries to tell you you're remembering wrong)

* Attempts to limit your ability to live or exist outside of his influence

* Bad vibes (never underestimate your intuition)

You find small lies that they tell. I was dating this guy and I told him I wanted to adopt and he told me he always wanted to as well. There was other things as well that I thought we had in common. I found them to be lies. He told me he had to or else I wouldn't have dated him.

Control issues. Such as what you're eating, what you're spending, etc etc. He's only your fucking boyfriend, not your husband.

An unnatural hair color like green or pink or purple hair and loads of tats.

Stay away from people who act like a victim in a problem they created.

He's behaving as though he's your father and orders you around. Or he's straight up being an asshole.
