What 4 Signs You're in a Relationship with a Toxic Partner: Experts Say

26.09.2023 12:28

Some people are inherently very complex, conflictual, and not suited to productive relationships.

Such a person is usually called toxic, since he literally “poisons” the life of his partner.

But falling in love sometimes prevents us from facing the facts openly and honestly, so some people tolerate such people for years, becoming increasingly unhappy.

4 Signs You Can Identify a Toxic Partner

He is always right

Any conversation you have comes down to the fact that you think incorrectly and are constantly mistaken. Only the person who is next to you is always right in everything.

Toxic people actually believe that they are right about everything.

List of prohibitions

Toxic people always set a fairly large list of prohibitions in order to take total control of their partner. And if within the framework of a healthy relationship some prohibitions are quite justified (no cheating, no lying, etc.), then a toxic partner can go further.

For example, such people may forbid you to communicate with friends who have not passed their strict "casting" or to visit certain places.

Social Media Surveillance

A toxic partner will try to catch you in bad behavior to make you feel worse. Social media makes this easy.

For example, you can reprimand someone for subscriptions that the toxic partner doesn’t like or for a comment that he or she considers inappropriate.

You always hear about your shortcomings

Toxic people always make us feel worse, experts say. They focus on the negatives and ignore the positives.

Therefore, you will constantly hear about your not-so-best traits and actions.
