14 Qualities of a Toxic Relationship That You Should Get Out Of

By HealthMeansWealth

Though it's undeniable that people have their distinctive ways of expressing love, it's equally important to be vigilant about potential warning signs within a relationship.

No One Deserves a Toxic Relationship

Everyone deserves to live in a healthy relationship where they feel loved, safe and comfortable- especially you!

1. Speeding up the pace of the relationship (feeling rushed)

If your partner seems obsessive about spending all their time with you and expects you to answer their messages almost immediately, it can be considered as a red flag.

2. Extreme jealousy and control

Is your partner extremely jealous? Do they try to control who you hang out with and what you wear?

3. Isolation from your network

Isolation is also a telltale sign of an unhealthy relationship and is related to the above-mentioned extreme jealousy, control, and possessiveness.

4. Sneaky manipulation

Manipulation can be expressed in various ways (for example, through passive-aggressive behavior).

5. Making you feel guilty

Have you ever felt guilty for spending the afternoon with your best friend instead of your partner? In a healthy relationship, you should not feel this way.

Make sure to keep an eye out for these behaviors and never ignore the red flags.
