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

14You don’t know how to say No

Love doesn’t mean saying yes all the time to your partner and pleasing them constantly. If you have to refuse something such as invitations or events that don’t interest you, say no politely. Although, it requires compromise where you both do the things the other likes, still if it doesn’t fit into your work schedule or it is beyond your capacity, say no! Don’t agree just for the sake of not offending your partner and never please a person incessantly beyond your means because later on the act will be taken for granted and never appreciated.

15Don't place your emotional state on your partner

You are responsible for your own emotional issues because these often appear from your own thoughts. Negativity takes hold in mysterious ways and then you start making a scapegoat for your issues. Confront them and that is the only way you can get rid of them. Neither should you start obsessing over what your lover is doing or start building upon their words and actions which actually don’t mean a thing.  Never allow negativity and fantasies to torment you.

When nothing seems to help your negativity, you could always turn to therapy which is good for sorting our emotional issues.
