Whenever we think of toxic relationship , we think of sexual relationships like girlfriend and boyfriend . But in the definition of toxic relationship there is no mention of such a thing .. So let's learn
By definition, a toxic relationship is a relationship characterized by behaviors on the part of the toxic partner that are emotionally and, not infrequently, physically damaging to their partner.
I think It's piece of cake to identify a relationship is toxic when violence gets involved .. Who would think its a healthy relationship when you're partner is physically abusing you day and night .
But the real problem is to identify Toxic Relations in which your partner is socially, emotionally , financially damaging you . It's hard to determine because it's not immediate . Imagine if someone throws you in a pool of boiling water you will immediately jump out , but what if someone threw you in pool of cold water and starts slowly heating it.
You would wait till the water gets unbearably hot to jump out . But relationships are not that easy to jump out of when you have already spent so much time investing in your partner . You would start to question your senses , you would say something like this .
Is this water really getting hot because he is heating it or It's just me being mean .
So it's better to identify a toxic relations before you start getting boiled ..
If you have read that book , it should be no problem for you to understand this point . If you have not read it , please read it , its an absolutely must read . Till to clarify sentence like :-
“I failed the exam because you keep on disturbing me.”
“Because of you I missed my ‘How to irritate people’ lessons ”
These are only a few signs .. There are tons of more .. All these signs basically lowers your self-esteem, makes you feel grateful that they are with you . If you are not feeling empowered when you are around your partner , your partner does not deserve you and you should let go of that person
