How do I know if I’m in a toxic relationship?

[Anonymous]

This question is for anyone wondering if their partner's behavior is harmful or unhealthy. A toxic partner can manipulate, control, or drain your energy, and recognizing the signs can help you decide how to proceed.

No relationship is perfect… But count your good and bad days. How many days do you feel like you’re truly at peace? That you love one another? As well as have their best interests at heart? If those days are few and far in between, then maybe you’re not right for one another regardless if you’re both good people or worse someone has more nefarious intentions.

If they can’t communicate. If they shut you down when you calmly express your feelings but you always have to hear everything they have to say. If they don’t communicate directly but expect you to read their minds, as passive aggressive, and mad without even knowing why they’re mad. If there has been cheating and you’re feeling insecure. Just things like that as well as just not being compatible.

I guess if it feels like you’re always feeling bad and don’t feel supported in anything you do that isn’t for them.

If you constantly feel anxious, unheard, or walking on eggshells around him, it might be toxic. A healthy relationship should make you feel safe, supported, and valued not drained or controlled. Trust your gut; if something feels off, it probably is. You deserve respect and peace.

You're always blamed for problems in the relationship, even when you're not at fault. Many men are good at that.

You might be in a toxic relationship if you constantly feel drained, anxious, or unworthy. If there's manipulation, control, lack of respect, or fear of being yourself, those are red flags. Love shouldn’t hurt your self-esteem it should support, respect, and uplift you. Trust your gut it usually knows.

I think it is very difficult to understand this while being in a relationship, I think the best determination would be the observation of someone, like any therapist or psychologist.
