A relationship becomes toxic when both partners aren’t communicating properly and instead both are thinking of ways to hurt and ruin each other. If this is the case, why then would two people stay together? The problem in a toxic relationship is that partners could become bitter and unhappy; even depressed if they hang on to a relationship that is not anymore working.

The height of every relationship is in the way partners spend time together. Partners stay together because they are enjoying the company of each other. The quality of time partners spend together determines if they can live together for the rest of their lives or they will say goodbye to each other and part ways. Parting comes when the relationship becomes toxic and it is not anymore possible to mend it and make it work.

What are the signs of a toxic relationship?

Cursing and calling each other with unacceptable names

Partners are usually sweet and romantic but when it goes to the stage of cursing and calling each other with names that are unacceptable; this could be a sign that the relationship is going toxic. The purpose of a relationship is to please each other, have happy times together and help each other but when time comes that both feel hatred and call each other x names; this is a sign of a relationship becoming toxic.

Excessive hatred

When excessive hatred is felt towards your partner; this isn’t normal anymore. You may hate your partner once in a while for a mistake done but if it becomes excessive then this is a sign of a relationship going sour which may lead to being a toxic relationship.

Wishing your partner bad luck

In a relationship, partners wish each other good luck but when it becomes the other way around, this could be a sign that the relationship is not working anymore and it is becoming toxic.

Inability to communicate well

Communication is always an important part of a relationship. So if you cannot communicate well anymore with your partner; this is a sign that the relationship is becoming toxic. If you cannot talk properly with your partner; nothing could be resolved and the tendency is for the relationship to dwindle away.

No more love and care

Love and care are both very important ingredients in a relationship that works. When these two are not anymore present in a relationship, the tendency is for the relationship to become toxic for you and your partner because you don’t care anymore how your partner feels.

Wishing to be with other people rather than your partner

If you wish to be with other people rather than your partner; this is not anymore a healthy feeling and the relationship is already toxic for both of you.

A relationship that becomes toxic is not anymore healthy for both partners and the best thing to do is to talk and part ways. A toxic relationship will only ruin both of you if you try to hang on to it. It is better for both of you to talk then you can both move on. If you cannot make things work anymore then why cling to the relationship that will only hurt you more and make both of you miserable and bitter? If you set each other free; then you can both find your right place somewhere. Freeing someone when the relationship has turned toxic is doing yourself and your partner a favor. In the end you will thank your partner for everything and you can breathe more freely.
