How do you tell if you’re in an unhealthy or toxic relationship?
Some relationships won’t do you any good — you become dependent on your partners, change, and distance yourself from friends and family. But how do you tell if you’re in an unhealthy or toxic relationship?
For most people, living a healthy lifestyle means eating a conscious and balanced diet and exercising regularly. However, a healthy lifestyle also includes healthy relationships. Studies consistently show that toxic relationships also have an impact on our health. Unhealthy relationships make unhealthy people.
But what is an unhealthy relationship? It is A relationship in which there is no real connection, but a high potential for conflict or neglect. In other words, in unhealthy relationships, the basic needs for love, intimacy, and security are not met.

But what makes it so difficult is that — like so many things in life — relationships are not black and white. Love is complicated. Just think of all the times you’ve been in love with a complete asshole. And sometimes you’re just stuck in a relationship whose expiration date has long since been reached.

Here is the list of Signs You’re in an Unhealthy Relationship:
We’ve picked out pretty clear red flags that prove you’re in an unhealthy relationship.
1. You always argue about the same things

If almost all of your friends, family, or colleagues are wondering why you’re dating this idiot, there’s probably some truth to it. Love is blinding and we often overlook red flags and problems. If your loved ones are worried about you or don’t like the person you’re dating, you might want to take a closer look… Trust us. We’ve been there …
