7 Signs Of a Toxic Relationship

#He makes fun of your mistakes.

It's a huge red flag. You need to remember that a healthy relationship is based on trust, love, and support. Partners should feel comfortable enough to make mistakes and not be afraid of being embarrassed. I'm not talking about laughing together at little slips. These are completely fine and shouldn't be taken as an offense.

The red flag appears when he does it too often and in the way, you feel embarrassed or ashamed. Believe me, he does it purposely. Toxic people like feeding themselves somebody's energy, just to feel better. It’s usually caused by their past, but you need to know that you won't change him. The best thing you can do is to leave.

#2 He talks only about himself.

Pay attention to this one. You may notice that he talks mainly about his plans, goals, and thoughts. Unfortunately, at the same time, you feel like he's not really interested in what you have to say. He asks you how you feel or how was your day very rarely.  Moreover, he doesn't even see any problem with it. Your role in a conversation is to agree and ask HIM questions. When it's finally your chance to say something, he changes the topic, or he's not interested in getting to know anything more. Please, do yourself a favor and let him go. You need to understand that no matter how many hobbies, ambitions, and interest you have, he's only interest is himself.

#3  He makes comments about other girls.

Ladies, never, ever agree to treat yourself in such a disrespectful way. If he comments other females in your presence as if they were better than you, it's time to leave. You can be sure that he has zero respect for you. He keeps you only to feed his own ego. This behavior is extremely toxic, even if he makes you feel that it's not such a big deal. You are worthy of being somebody's priority, not an option. In a healthy relationship, you should feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

#He manipulates your feelings.

It's one of the first alarming behaviors. He makes you feel hurt, but when you tell him about it, he gets mad or aggressive. He has the ability to control the situation so much that you feel like you overreacted and it was your fault. FAULT. He makes you feel guilty about the fact that you react this way. Even if it was obvious for you that he did something wrong, now you think that you're oversensitive. You need to remember that he does it just to be able to do even worse things to you in the future. He knows that eventually, he won't take responsibility for his actions.

It may damage your mental health and destroy your self-esteem if you don't let him go.

#5 He doesn't buy you any gifts or take you out.

If he doesn't spend money on you, but you see him wearing expensive clothes, he doesn't take you seriously. You are not a gold digger. Men spend money on valuable things for them. If he doesn't bother himself to make you a little surprise and see a smile on your face, you have the answer. Don't feel sorry for him when he tells you that he's broke. The next day you will see his new shoes. Unfortunately, very often when a woman is not treated like a queen by her man, she just holds a place for somebody else. Don't let it be you.

#6 He uses aggressive body language.

Watch out for this. If he uses an aggressive voice tone or gestures towards you, it's time to leave immediately. When he allows himself to cross your boundaries like that, next time he'll use violence. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. Even if he promises you that it won't happen again or he's sorry, it's gonna be only worse. It's hard to free yourself from this kind of person, but you deserve to be loved and respected. Don't let any men put his hands on you.

#7 He makes you feel weak and unworthy.

You may notice that you don't actually feel loved and full of energy. You started feeling unable to achieve your goals and thinking that you can't do anything well by yourself. Your reflection in the mirror is no longer your friend and you see only your imperfections. You changed the way you dress or the way you do your makeup, but it didn't help. You don't feel like yourself.

Does it sound familiar?

If the answer is YES, there is a huge possibility that your partner is toxic and you shouldn't be stuck here any longer.

Sometimes it is better to put the effort to love yourself instead of making somebody love us.
