No relationship is perfect but it depends on the people to deal with the different challenges to maintain their relations with others. In a couple’s relationship, fights are normal and rough patches are also part of the course which means couples also do not have perfect relationships but still  this relationship always makes couples feel secured, loved, happy, cared for, respected and free. Some relationships are toxic that never make you feel accepted, respected and loved. A toxic relationship makes you feel drained, depleted and distraught and leaves you devastated. Couples do need to understand the kind of relationship they have with their partner so that they can escape if their relationship falls into the category of a toxic one. Here’s exactly what you need to know about toxic relationships, and how to identify if you’re in one. There are some points that will help you to understand and identify how a toxic relationship looks like. The most common features of a toxic relationship include:

If you experience withdrawals of energy without deposits then it will leave you in a negative mental state because a relationship demands an equal amount of effort from both sides.

Instead of feeling happy and productive, you’re always mentally, emotionally, and even physically drained.

A relationship without trust is more dangerous because it will never help you to grow.

Non-cooperative and non-supportive behaviour show clearly that it’s a sign of being in a toxic relationship.

One sided efforts and feelings are futile and the affected partner needs to re-evaluate their relationship.

Constantly being disrespected, avoided, judged or misjudged are the loudest screams that beg for leaving the relationship.

Leave the relationship if your value is not acknowledged by your partner.

If she/he is constantly making you unhappy, you owe it to yourself to let that person go.
