We often meet, and love was beautiful. We love each other so very much and we were happy, but sometimes that romance turned into a NIGHTMARE! The love we had now turned into a Toxic Relationship is what people call it! The thing about an unhealthy relationship is that, as you or your partner don't often know or even aware of the relationship that you or your partner can cause it to be UNHEALTHY! One of you can able to start hurting each other, and you can be at the point to able to stop it and move on from it. Why does it hard to move on from this kind of relationship? What is a toxic relationship? That's the question we ask ourselves? In this kind of relationship one of two people can be manipulator who, can make the other suffer. But the problem is, you can find yourself in a toxic relationship with a man who is nothing that he seemed when you first met and it will cause a lot of suffering for you. When a man does not want to get involved in a relationship and refuses to accept it, a woman tends to pursue him.

So why stay in a toxic relationship? Well it's because of fear of failure, fear of rejection, strong emerging feelings, emotional dependence, etc. This is a lot of reasons why a woman or a girl stays in the relationship with a man or a boy who makes her suffer....

So how do you know for sure that you are in a toxic relationship? Here are 4 signs that will help you open your eyes.

# 1: You are in a toxic relationship when you go through a constant emotional roller coaster: A toxic relationship is above all a succession of very strong emotions. So much so that, moreover, when it stops, women who have suffered a lot fall into a certain nostalgia. Life now seems so flat to them…

#2: You are the victim of a toxic relationship when you feel insecure all the time: In a normal relationship, it is common to sometimes doubt and fear that the romance will end. All the more so if one lacks a little self-confidence or suffers from the trauma of his past failures. But in a toxic relationship, this aspect reaches new heights. The relationship does not have a solid foundation since the partner will tend to plunge the other into uncertainty and insecurity. For example, by expressing dissatisfaction, threatening to end the relationship, cheating on their partner …

#3: you are the victim of a toxic relationship when you deny your values ​​and needs: ear and uncertainty, as well as the difficulty of setting boundaries, can prevent women who are victims of toxic relationships from standing up to their mate. Even when they lack respect. The fear of rupture can be so strong that they can deny their needs, to prevent the situation from deteriorating. And that the relationship does not end at the same time …

#4: Your relationship is toxic when you have to talk about it with your best friend all the time: If your relationship weighs so heavily on you that you are obliged to call your best friend every day to talk about it… This is because there is REALLY A PROBLEM.

Toxic relationship: how to get out of it by learning to set your limits !!!

As we have seen, there are toxic relationships that are because one of the two partners is a perverse manipulator. In this case, and it is easier said than done, the one and the only solution is the leak.

A small inventory of your needs

But in this case, you have to learn to clearly set your limits and express your needs. And it is not necessarily easy. So let’s start with a little exercise. To be clear with your limits and your values ​​as a woman, I will ask you to write the following list black and white.

Learn to express your limits…

Now that you’ve started to think about a strategy for setting your limits, I’m going to give you an additional weapon: bondage. With a man (that said, even with a woman for that matter!), To reproach or shout is counterproductive. At best, he will answer you in the same tone, at worst, he will not even listen.

It’s your turn!

If you are dealing with a relationship that seems toxic to you, you now have the keys to understanding and exiting it, however hard it may be. But unfortunately, if a relationship makes you suffer rather than providing you with the well-being that it should bring you, you must keep in a corner of your head that the best solution is still fleeing…

I hope this helped you and i'll see you next time. see you soon!
