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

11When valid reasons of jealousy are dismissed

This is the opposite scenario of point no 9 when you do have valid reasons to be jealous but your partner least bothered. Instead of apologizing and saying things like ““I’m sorry. I didn’t think it would hurt you. It won’t happen again...” you are told in an agitated tone “It doesn’t mean anything.”   If you start reassuring yourself and friends that your relationship is strong but you are nagged by Doubts and fears, then it’s time to reconsider your relationship.

12You can’t stand your partner not being around you

It isn’t uncommon to want your partner to spend as much time with you but it is equally important the time when you both aren’t with each other. There are many activities you can do by yourself, you also have friends too. A good relationship needs its space and partners shouldn’t smother each other. The trick is not to focus on negativity and doubts that your partner is flirting with someone else. Your partner could be doing important things like work or attending to family issues or they could also be spending time with close friends. These aren’t things to seek permission for nor should they have to hide it from you.

You anxiousness about this won’t help diffuse the situation and will worsen it instead. Never spend all of your free time thinking constantly about your partner. Concentrate on yourself and the important things you need to attend to, even activities that make you happy which will then make your partner even more interested in you. To remedy this solution, you could look for activities to do such as read a book with a cup of coffee, or watch a movie, take a hot bath or call up a friend.

13You keep justifying your partner’s bad behavior.

Being in love sometimes blinds us to the bad behavior and habits of our partners. Given the fact that everyone isn’t perfect, doesn’t mean that you have to justify or condone their terrible habits that may create a bad impression or affect others. You need to pay attention to your partner’s behavior towards you and others because such things could create serious issues later.

 If you see your partner behaving attentively and nice towards you on the first date but later on displaying signs of aggression or insensitivity such as shouting at waiters in a restaurant for small mistakes then this is a sign that all is not right with him and there could be a number of issues ranging from aggression, short-temperedness, bad attitude or they could be an obnoxious spoilt person. After the honeymoon, you will be the next target of insults for petty problems, so be warned earlier.
