The first time somebody tells you a lie any relationship it's going downhill from there. If you get into an argument and there's yelling and screaming. Is going downhill from there.
If your boyfriend or your girlfriend has girls night out or boys night out and one of them doesn't come home. It goes downhill from there if you have no respect and you do not know how to talk to your partner it turns into a toxic mess if there's no trust no respect the level of commitment it turns into toxic
If you have your boyfriend or your girlfriend trying to control you and tell you what you're going to do and what you're not going to do.
It turns toxic. If the boyfriend are the girlfriend is a bully it turns toxic if you even have one of the above things going on in your relationship you might as well get out now

A lack of trust, respect, and shared values

If you're a helicopter parent, and your partner is more laid back that will cause some issues be because you don't have similar ideas of parenting.

If you and your partner make plans together and they keep bailing on you last minute - they have no respect for you or your time and this causes issues

If you tell your partner that your going to this place, and they are hesitant to see you go because they don't believe that you are going where you say you are going then they don't trust you - this causes problems

In romantic relationships, I would say a lack of communication, respect and love for your partner. In addition to this, being together out of obligation/other forced reasons.

Usually it’s just someone with an aggressive personality. Usually, you wouldn’t notice that someone would be aggressive when they’re not in a relationship because they’re just lying dormant. The second they get in a relationship, either they feel threatened, or they feel like they’re being walk all over and not being listened to so they act out in horrible ways.
