Toxic relationship

A toxic relationship is a relationship that is unhealthy and harmful to one or both partners involved. In a toxic relationship, there is often an unequal balance of power, and one or both partners may feel manipulated, controlled, or trapped.

Some common signs of a toxic relationship include:

Constant criticism or put-downs

Manipulation or controlling behavior

Emotional abuse, such as yelling or name-calling

Physical abuse, such as hitting or pushing

Jealousy and possessiveness

Lack of respect for boundaries

Refusal to take responsibility for one's actions or apologize

Gaslighting or making the other person doubt their own perception of reality.

If you are in a toxic relationship, it is important to seek help and support. This could mean talking to a trusted friend or family member, seeking counseling, or even ending the relationship if necessary. Remember that you deserve to be in a healthy, happy, and respectful relationship.
