Are You In Toxic Relationship? 5 Signs That Will Help You Find Out

I think this article should help you understand some things bit better. Let me know !
Here we go :

1) You feel unfulfilled 

A relationship should be a partnership between two people that is mutually beneficial to them both.If you can’t remember what it felt like to be in love, and you certainly don’t look forward to seeing your partner at the end of a long day, there is every chance that your relationship could be toxic, and could be doing you more harm than good in the long term.

2) You're constantly criticized 

It can sometimes be quite subtle, but one of the signs of a toxic relationship is when one partner is always criticizing the other. It may be a comment such as “You’re not wearing that again are you?”

Or, “Don’t you think you should cook that a little differently?” These comments can sometimes be made out to be a bit of a joke    too, as though it is a playful comment.

However, comments made continuously over time can be a sign of something more – a toxic relationship – and this means that you should be trying to get out of, and confront the issues that you’re facing.

Nobody should be criticized, particularly if negative comments are being made in public, outside of the home.

3) Your partner avoids contact 

Are you fed up of sitting at home in silence, unable to make conversation with your partner? If so, you may be suffering from avoidance, where measures are actively taken to avoid speaking to your other half, even when it is only the two of you who are in the room

Where this happens, one or both partners can start to feel alone, meaning that they are not getting what they need from a relationship. There are different types of contact that can be avoided, including social, sexual and even avoiding being seen together in public. All of these should be addressed as soon as possible.

4) Your mood is continuously negative 

If you get to the end of the day, and you’re unable to think about positive things that have happened to you that day, your relationship might be to blame. A toxic relationship can have an effect on your life in many ways, and can drain many types of enjoyment that you might once have experienced.

If you and your partner are going to go the distance, you should be making each other happy, and cheering the other up, rather than actively draining the positive energy.

“Toxic relationships not only make us unhappy; they corrupt our attitudes and dispositions in ways that undermine healthier relationships and prevent us from realizing how much better things can be.” – Michael Josephson

5) Your friends and family begin to make comments 

Lots of people feel as though they have the right to make comments about the relationships of their family and friends. Of course, as a relationship should only be between two people.

However if several people start questioning your relationship then there is a chance that it might be the right time for you to start thinking about it yourself; don’t overthink it though.

You may not want to hear their concerns, but it is always helpful to hear about it from another point of view, as it means that you can put your own thoughts and feelings to one side and see the situation with fresh eyes. Sometimes, you don’t even realize just how toxic your relationship is, because you are so close to the middle of it.
