Sometimes it's hard to assess what kind of relationship you're in.
There are clear signs of a toxic romantic relationship.
How to Tell If Your Relationship Is Unhealthy
Often unhealthy relationships are accompanied by controlling behavior from partners.
If your partner manipulates you, makes you feel guilty, and violates your personal boundaries, these are clear signs of abuse.
Toxic partners often check your phones, correspondence, your location and do not allow you to see friends or relatives.
They can achieve what they want through manipulation, blackmail or intimidation.
As a rule, abusive relationships are difficult to notice due to frequent changes.
Your partner can be toxic for a week and then turn into perfect.
Also unhealthy relationships lack trust and open communication.
If you can't trust a friend or openly share your emotions or experiences, that's a red flag.
If trust is lacking, you may constantly feel like your partner is hiding something from you or that you have to hide something.
Emotional intimacy and trust are the key to a healthy and happy relationship.
Without this, it is impossible to feel calm and safe.
Your relationship cannot be called happy if it lacks or does not respect each other.
Disrespect can manifest itself in a reluctance to listen to each other, respect each other's needs and personal boundaries.
Often in such relationships there are insults, humiliation and neglect.
