to get sushi or pizza for takeout, or what to watch on Netflix.

have a baby, or buy a home, you may be in a toxic relationship.

relationship.
No.2, Criticism and contempt.
No one is perfect, and the closer you become with someone, the more conspicuous his or
her imperfections will become.

can make the other person feel unvalued and worthless.
It's hard for a relationship to come back from that.
No.3, You avoid saying what you need, because there’s just no point.

Some of the big ones are connection, validation, appreciation, love, affection.
When those needs are mocked or ignored, the emptiness of that unmet need, will clamour
like an old church bell.
If your attempts to talk about what you need end in a fight, or another empty promise,
accusations of neediness, insecurity, jealousy or madness you’ll either bury the need,
or resent that it keeps being overlooked.
Either way, it’s toxic.
No.4, You never feel good enough.

your worth.

relieved, and it gives you just enough rope to hang onto.
You try even harder to get more of that feeling, and feel like a failure when it doesn’t
come.

things right.

better and good enough.

new things about ourselves and life, and our dreams and goals, and even opinions shift.

too.

growth against you.

your hobbies and interests.

track, of how many times they’ve done something good or even something bad.

is toxic, Whether you and your partner constantly highlight one another's faults, or you find
yourself reciting your resume of good deeds, it's a sign that you've turned against each
other.
No.7, You've been lied to.

of?

to use, No matter what the reason, make it clear that dishonesty won't be tolerated in
your relationship, especially if you've notice a pattern that's likely to keep repeating.
