There is nothing like a perfect relationship. Each relationship has some hurdles to be jumped regardless of how flawless it may seem.
But then, some relationships are so full of problems such that nothing good seems to come out ofthem. Such are the toxic type and you need a savior if you are in one of them.
Some common signs of a toxic relationship include:
1. Lack of emotional support
Your partner should be your cheerleader number one and the soft spot to fall on whenever you are going through a rough time. But if they can’t do this anymore, it means you are as good as being single.
2. It drains you
It can never be all smooth but then if drains you both emotionally and physically, you need rescue before it’s too late. A relationship shouldn’t feel as hard as trying to crack some programming codes.
3. You are ever fighting
You will not always agree with your partner. So, fights are bound to be there but not 24/7. If you are ever fighting even over the simplest of things, your relationship is in danger.
4. It’s one way
A healthy relationship should be a two way traffic. No one should feel like they are always the ones giving while the other person is always taking and never giving back.
