However, this isn\u2019t always the case! Sooner or later, everyone has to deal with arguments, tiers, and all the bad things you can imagine about an unhealthy relationship. What\u2019s important is to realize if the relationship is actually gonna work or if it\u2019s just a waste of time and energy\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sad but true: Sometimes, losing someone can be less painful than being with them. And that\u2019s what a toxic relationship is all about.  As the word suggests, being in a toxic relationship is harmful and poisoning. It damages you mentally and most of the time it is a very complicated situation to escape from. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you ended up on this post, it\u2019s probably because you feel lost and in need of answers. Well, the good news is that you happened in the right place\u2026 We have listed five simple but common signs of a toxic relationship that can clear your mind and make your life easier. Wondering whether to stay or to go?  Keep on reading! <\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #714a69;\"><strong>1.     You don\u2019t feel happy  <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ok we get it. You really like this person and you wish it could last forever. But in reality, you aren\u2019t happy at all. You keep being frustrated because nothing is the way you wish them to be and nothing about your partner makes you feel fulfilled and respected the way you deserve. Think about it. What is the point of being with the cause of your unhappiness? If it doesn\u2019t work, stop forcing it and instead start looking somewhere else\u2026 <\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #714a69;\"><strong>2.     You fear arguments <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, let\u2019s see. Have you ever happened to fear telling your voice for the fear of starting an argument? If yes. That is a big red flag. Being in a healthy relationship means being open to discussion and confrontations. Having problems is part of being a couple, but if you feel incapable to open yourself for the fear of losing someone, it clearly means you are not with the right person.  <\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #714a69;\"><strong>3.     It\u2019s always the same problem\u2026  <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let\u2019s say that you have been dating for a while, and still you keep having the same old unsolved problem coming to the surface. If one specific problem persists without you two coming to a point, chances are that it never will. Having sympathy and openness to each other\u2019s opinions and feelings is essential in a good relationship. And when an argument never ends, it means that you are unable to fully understand each other, or perhaps your believes are more important than your relationship. So, if this is something you are experiencing, have a think about it. Does it really worth it?  <\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #714a69;\"><strong>4.     You start blaming yourself <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, let\u2019s see, after all the effort to find a common point eventually you start believing it\u2019s all your fault. Don\u2019t get it wrong, you can totally have done it wrong. But if you end up blaming yourself even in front of the most obvious and unacceptable situations, that means nothing but being in a clearly toxic and submissive relationship.  <\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #714a69;\"><strong>5.     There are scorecards <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It can seem not a big deal, initially. But when you and your partner start bringing out all things from the past every time there\u2019s a discussion, it clearly is a sign that you\u2019ve got a lot of issues piling up. Nothing will ever get solved in this way, and instead, you will end up telling each other off for all bad things you both keep inside\u2026 If you aren\u2019t able to face arguments like two adults, there is no point continuing. Playing scorecards is a never-ending game and most importantly it\u2019s a pain in the ****.  <\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #714a69;\"><strong>6.     You feel submissive <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Romantic relationships are about parity and shared happiness. When feelings and emotions aren\u2019t mutually balanced, nothing good is gonna happen. Especially if the person with control over the relationship likes to take advantage the other person\u2019s weak points in order to keep them under their thumb. This is just awful. No matter how much you are into someone, if you realize being submissive have a bit of respect for yourself and say, \u201cno thanks!\u201d. It\u2019s hard at the beginning, but afterward, it will be nothing but liberating! <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Love is blind. And sometimes being in love makes it impossible for most people to realize having to do with nothing but a rubbish relationship. If you feel unhappy with your relationship, make sure to find a solution and if it doesn\u2019t work, don\u2019t lose any more time and do something good for yourself: let it go! <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gleeden.com\/en\/sorry-not-sorry-but-this-aint-gonna-work-red-flags-you-shouldnt-ignore-when-dating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cSorry not sorry, but this ain\u2019t gonna work!\u201d: Red flags you shouldn\u2019t ignore when dating<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relationships are meant to make us happy, not the contrary!Stay away from unhealthy relationships. &nbsp; Relationships are meant to make us happy.
