6 Signs You're Stuck In A Toxic Relationship

If you recognise these signs in your relationship, it may be time to seek help or consider ending the relationship for your well-being.

Lack of Trust

If you're feeling like you're always being criticised, belittled, or demeaned by your partner and are facing constant suspicion, jealousy, and lack of trust in the relationship.

Lack of Communication

Communication is important in any relationship, if you face difficulty communicating openly and honestly with your partner, you may be in a toxic relationship. Lack of open communication can lead to unresolved issues and misunderstandings.

Gaslighting

Your partner denies your feelings, thoughts, or experiences, making you doubt your own perceptions and sanity.

Lack of Respect

Feeling disrespected or devalued in the relationship, with your boundaries not being respected is a classic sign of a toxic relationship.

Emotional or Physical Abuse

Any form of emotional, verbal, or physical abuse is a clear sign of a toxic relationship and the biggest red flag.

One-Sided Effort

Feeling like you're the only one putting effort into the relationship, with little to no reciprocity from your partner. This may cause you to feel taken for granted and even trapped.
