Judge: "Well the State of Indiana does..."š
Some relationships are simply not meant to be. The person who you think might be your soul mate can turn out to be incredibly toxic once you spend more time with them. And in some cases, it can take months or even years for their true character to shine through.
At the end of the day, everyone’s responsible for communicating and enforcing their healthy boundaries. If someone continues to disrespect you and constantly ignores your boundaries, you’re better off breaking things off. Nobody deserves to be mistreated in relationships.

According to āCalm,ā toxic partners tend to belittle and sabotage you instead of supporting you. You can also tell that youāre likely in a toxic relationship if you persistently feel unhappy, thereās constant tension at home, and you argue very frequently.
Things are also far from healthy if your partner constantly insults or accuses you, tries to control you in various ways, neglects your emotional needs, or attempts to manipulate you.
The result of staying in a toxic relationship is a big negative impact on your mental, emotional, and even physical health. You can develop anxiety, depression, insomnia, see changes in appetite, develop chronic health issues, feel isolated, and your sense of self-worth might diminish.

Meanwhile, 'BetterUp' points out that some of the biggest relationship red flags to look out for include your partner being overly controlling, not trusting or respecting you, and not supporting you emotionally.
Other signs of toxicity include physical, emotional, and mental violence, substance misuse, narcissistic behavior, anger management issues, and co-dependency.
On top of that, other glaring relationship red flags are things like conflict avoidance, constant jealousy, gaslighting, a lack of emotional intelligence, love bombing, the partner’s attempts to socially isolate you, and an unwillingness to communicate openly.
