15 Signs To Help You Recognize A Toxic Relationship From The Very Beginning

8You justify your partner’s actions to his childhood traumas

If your partner has suffered childhood traumas, there is no need to justify his actions as a result of them. Neither should you justify negative actions towards you to work issues, and family experiences because you don’t need to be your partner’s savior or punching bag. If you are constantly playing the role of a victim, then you need to find out why.

9You completely trust the opinion of your partner

If you start doing things you have never done before because of pressure from your partner, then this is a very bad sign and unhealthy for a relationship. When you start conforming to other’s beliefs and forget about your own, it means you are losing an important part of your identity and not being true to yourself. Adjusting and compromising on beliefs is ok if you feel it to be true but blindly agreeing to all that your partner tells you is not good. You simply become your partner’s shadow and this will gradually result in health issues and will also make your partner lose interest in you or start taking you for granted. You don’t want to be a doormat.

10You feel incredibly jealous over everything

Your past should never impact your present. Bad experiences that you may have faced in the past or being afraid of loneliness should not reflect in your relationships. You need to address these issues in yourself and ask yourself if the obsessive jealousy arises from valid instances or are they just your own insecurities and fears. Excessive displays of jealousy can risk an end to your relationship and you won’t be losing your partner to someone else because you will be the reason they leave. Nobody likes to be mistrusted constantly and neither do they like having to make constant reassurances of love.
