3 Early signs of a toxic relationship

Relationships can be tricky.

They are amazing when they are going well. But if something happens and both of you are on a rocky road, they can be painful. 

If you've been with someone for a long time, you can get stuck in a routine. You might not necessarily notice the toxic behavior of the other half  because its becoming the norm to you. 

Taking a step back and looking at your relationship from a different view point can be an eye opener in obtaining a new perspective on your relationship. 

There is no perfect relationship. Even the happiest of couples have arguments, disagreements, and temporary breakups. That's life.

BUT!

There is a time where you have to look at your relationship and know the differences between a healthy argument and distinguish it with the not healthy ones. Sometimes, you have to leave a relationship and put yourself first to be happy, or at peace.

So here I will share with you the 3 signs to tell you when its time to leave a relationship.

1. You're consistently unhappy

Any relationship be it friends, family or romantic should bring you happiness. You should look forward to see your partners and enjoy spending time with them. Obviously, you can't be consistently happy in your relationship because that’s not realistic. 

But you should feel supported, safe, and loved. 

If you started to feel consistently unhappy, maybe its time to ask yourself ''why''. Maybe its you, or maybe your partner. 

Its good to understand why you're feeling unhappy so that you can either fix the problem or choose to leave. There is no shame to admit that your relationship is not offering the same support and contentment that it once was. 

2. You're travelling on different paths. 

Sometimes, you can start a relationship in one place, but as you grow, you can change mindsets. 

Long-term relationships can be amazing as you grow and change with your partner. But sometimes you can grow and change at a different paths. If you're moving on a different directions from your partner, it could be difficult to navigate a relationship. 

Also, if you're in a different place emotionally you might not want the same things. 

In this case, its best for you both to separate amicably. Its a good thing to discuss what each of you wants from your relationship if you're going to be serious about a partner. 

3. Lack of support 

In a relationship, support is key. 

You want to feel that your partner believes in you and what you're doing and is behind you 100%. But if that support isn't there, you can start to feel let down and unfulfilled.

Emotional support is also really important. If you’re not feeling that in your relationship, it can be damaging and affect your happiness.

If you don’t feel like your partner is invested in you and is behind you all the way – then it might be time to consider having a conversation about your relationship with your partner.

So that's it for the short tips. I hope you have a healthy relationship, and if your partner administered any one of those signs, be strong and take a step away from them. You deserve your happiness.
