Sometimes it’s hard to admit that you and your partner are in an unhealthy relationship, but deep inside you know that something is wrong.
Remember, toxic relationships usually start with intense passion and attraction, and then behavior slowly becomes disrespectful and out of control. That makes it much more difficult for the person to push back or leave the relationship until it really starts to worsen.
Here we can help you how to find out whether your relationship is toxic or not. All you need is to follow these questions.
Does your relationship make you feel good about yourself?
The answer of this question will tell if you are in a good or a bad relationship. If you feel great most of the time spend with your partner, then it’s probably healthy, but if you find that fighting has become the norm instead of the exception, that’s a sign that something is wrong.
Are you dressing differently than you used to?
It’s acceptable to change your style a little bit over time, but if you’re suddenly dressing a certain way just because your partner wants you to, then it might be a sign that you are in a controlling relationship. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t wear the dress because you know he loves it, but completely changing your style to please your partner it’s simply not right.
How do you feel before you see your partner?
We’re not talking about having butterflies after being together for a long time, but if you’re constantly feeling uncomfortable or nervous before you see him, this might be a sign that you have an unhealthy relationship. Remember, toxic relationships lack trust, which often creates frequent discomfort or fear.
How often do you see your friends?
It’s pretty normal to spend more time with your partner, but if you don’t remember when was the last time you have seen your friends, you need to think twice about your relationship. If you think that your partner is the reason why you’re isolated from friends and family, then you should definitely start thinking about ending this toxic relationship.
If one or more of these questions made you think twice about your relationship, it’s time to take change some things.
