Six Signs Of Toxic Relationship To Watch In The New Year

A toxic relationship can become a healthy relationship if both partners are willing to put in the work and communicate honestly. Here’s how to recognize six signs of what is a toxic or abusive relationship

Lack of trust

A partner is someone for you to rely on, to be vulnerable with, and to have in your corner. In the absence of trust, none of these things are possible.

Hostile communication

Hostile communication can cause tension and create further distrust between partners. Rather, healthy relationships rely on open communication, cooling down before things get too heated, and respect.

Frequent lying

Lying to your partner indicates your allegiance is to yourself, not the relationship. When a partner lies to you, it signals they don’t respect you as a mutual partner who deserves honesty and care.

Only give without receive

If your relationship consistently revolves around what makes your partner happy and ignores your needs, it can be a sign of toxicity.

You feel drained

Try shifting some of your energy to take care of yourself and see how your partner reacts. If their response is negative, that signals toxic traits in the relationship.

Controlling behavior

Here are some of the areas your partner exerts control on you.

    Telling you what’s right

    Needing to know everything you do and who you’re with

    Trying to manage your money

    Secluding you from loved ones or always being present when you are with others

    Acting like you don’t know what you’re talking about

    Requiring access to your personal devices such as phone or email accounts
