While it is true that all relationships can have difficult moments, there is also a line in which it can be considered as toxic. But how do you know if your relationship has reached such a point of deterioration that it is time to turn that page?
According to Lillian Glass, an expert psychologist on the subject, a couple can be defined as toxic when they have a relationship in which there is no support for each other, where there are conflicts in which it is about hurting the other, in which there is competition, in which there is no respect and there is also no connection”.
A report from Time magazine also added that although it is normal for a couple to have their losses, in a harmful relationship the negative moments outnumber those good experiences.
On many occasions, the protagonists of this type of relationship do not take the necessary attention to the situations that arise in their daily lives until things get out of control, sometimes leading to aggression.
For the expert, aggression, abuse and intimidation are unmistakable signs of a toxic relationship, but sometimes the signs are much more subtle and difficult to perceive.
Not having a feeling of happiness with the partner and on the contrary feeling sad, angry, anxious or resigned, can sometimes lead to notable changes in personality, which is a red flag for Glass, since these types of feelings can cause mental illnesses like depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
The psychologist also ensures that many times the protagonists of a harmful relationship are the last to realize this. Which is why he advises paying attention to messages of concern from family and friends, since these can become the best warning sign that something is wrong.
