21 Toxic Relationship Signs & How To Fix It
By: Carlos Cavallo

If you're looking for signs of a toxic relationship, you probably suspect you have some unhealthy patterns in your relationship. Or you may want to ensure that your relationship stays healthy.

By recognizing the signs of a toxic relationship, you can avoid a lot of the problems that people run into in relationships.

Let's face it, almost every single person will have a bad relationship at some point in their life. We learn from the bad ones - so that we can come to a good one and make it even better.

You might find yourself arguing with your boyfriend over and over and over again.
You might find yourself caught in a cycle of breaking up and coming back to him over and over again...
This may not be a toxic relationship, but it's something you should be watching for.

Which brings us to the first and most important question:

What is a toxic relationship?
The simplest definition of a toxic relationship is this:

A toxic relationship is where your feelings of self-worth and belief in your value is damaged.

Any relationship that makes you feel less about yourself should be considered toxic.

It's probably also better if you avoid romantic relationships if you are trying to work on yourself or make up for some feeling of inadequacy. There are millions of people out there right now with genuine emotional issues that should not be in a relationship.

However, we all feel entitled to a relationship with someone. And there's no reason why you can't have love in your life.

But you also have to attend to the personal issues or you will constantly be seeking help.

The truth is that your relationship might be toxic because of a few factors:

He might be toxic - someone who just isn't ready or capable to have a healthy relationship
You might have a bit of toxic going on in your life
The dynamic between you and him might be toxic - you might be okay people on your own, but you're just a bad combination together
Your timing might be off - and your fighting against the impossible is creating a toxic situation
Another important distinction is the difference between a toxic relationship and an abusive relationship.

A toxic relationship affects your self-esteem and adversely affects your emotional health and well-being.

An abusive relationship is much worse. It not only affects your self-esteem, it can result in physical injury. And it can also create severe emotional health issues. It's not uncommon for someone who is being emotionally abused to be suicidal, depressed, and very unstable. Sometimes it's even hard to go to work or function in the world.

Signs of a Toxic Relationship
Keep in mind that these signs are warnings for BOTH you and him in the relationship. Sometimes we don’t notice when our boundaries have been pushed or erased.

Yes, you could be just as guilty as he is of these signs. Sometimes we get pulled into really unhealthy situations. Notice this and take steps to fix it immediately.

You might act out of panic or fear without even noticing it.

So be on the lookout for these signs in yourself, too.

Sign #1: You don't have a say
Ultimately in any mature relationship you should have the right to participate. Meaning that it's not the 1800 s. Women should be participating in the relationship just as much as the man is.

But if you find your relationship is not honoring your participation, meaning that big decisions are made but you aren't a part of them, that's an issue.

He should value your opinions and ideas every bit as much as his own. Especially when it comes to big decisions.

Sign #2: Nothing Is Private
If your boyfriend tends to go through your correspondence, your phone, your private stuff, this shows a really unhealthy boundary. It also might show some possessiveness and overly jealous behavior.

It's extremely toxic if you can't have your privacy within your relationship. Remember that this is something that you define for yourself.

You set the terms of your own level of comfort within a relationship. If you're struggling to accommodate all of his needs and bending over backwards to meet them, you're going to give up your boundaries and it's going to turn unhealthy really quick.

Sign #3: Lies lies lies…!
Let's be real - when your relationship has dishonesty and lying at the core of it, it is -
