Search Results: healthy relationships

1) Able to be yourself? Do you feel like you have to put on a front with your SO? Also, how nervous are you when your guard drops? Lots of abused women report having to be “on guard” 24/7 in what they say, or act or even wear. Are you always exhausted with your SO? That may be a sign.
2) Do you laugh? Like most conversations, are you laughing with each other? You don’t have to be a comedian. We laugh and have fun talking about reality shows are whatever. But unhealthy SO’s don’t laugh as much. And unhealthy mates HATE laughing at themselves.
3) Do you fight? It’s ok to. I see it more as venting, as well as fixing the relationship. But how bad the fights get is key too. Also, how fast can you makeup?
4) Do they trust you? Are they going through your phone? Always scrolling through social media, sensitive to minor flirtations from others? Do they try to control your schedule? That’s them being insecure about themselves. And is abusive.

I think it does, reason is this:Some start with the mindset of "I'll fix him or her".. you can't fix anyone that doesn't want to be fixed
Most people are in toxic relationships today cos of the red flags they ignored. They know their relationships aren’t ideal, but they justify and rationalize their doubts away. Many of them would rather be in a poor relationship than no relationship at all.
An emotionally healthy person views being alone as better than being in a negative relationship but the desperate ones, think otherwise. A healthy relationship can be challenging to find, but it’s not an impossibility.
There are many signs of toxic relationships.
Physical or verbal abuse, Passive-aggressive behavior,
Lying. This needs little explanation. Does your partner lie to you? Do you find yourself telling lies just to keep the peace? Do you lie in order to avoid spending time with your partner? For example, do you tell your partner you have to help your mother, but you actually at home doing nothing?

There’s a relationship scorecard
Are you reminded on a regular basis about how you’re not pulling your own weight? Are past mistakes mentioned regularly even when you've apologized about it?
-Are you told that you have to wash the dishes because your partner swept the floor? Are you told this even though you’re swamped with work, and he’s just watching TV?
If you’re in a toxic relationship, extract yourself from it or seek professional relationship counseling
You might be too emotional to tell yourself the truth or you might be too weak to take the bold step, a counselor will help you make the right decisions. You might miss person afterwards but just because you miss someone doesn't mean you need them again in your life.
