5 Signs You Might Be A Toxic Partner

4. You are manipulating your partner

Even if your partner doesn’t want to do something, you always find a way to get them to agree with you. You don’t want to adjust for your partner’s needs. You are content the way you are and your happiness is the most important thing for you.

You believe that if you are happy, your spouse is exactly the same, but you don’t have the initiative to ask them. Manipulation is never good, because it leads to trust issues, feeling down, being angry and emotionally tired.

5. You hold past mistakes against your partner

Everybody makes mistakes, because it’s natural, but that doesn’t mean that you should hold them against someone. If your partner did something that made you feel upset or disappointed, you should communicate with them and tell them your real thoughts.

A toxic person will hold them against someone by constantly pointing out that moment. For example, every time you and your partner fight, you remember that thing that made you upset and angry. This is a clear sign that it’s still bothering you and that you can’t seem to let it go.

If you are not willing to at least consider that your partner is sorry and forgive them, then it means that you might be toxic. It may seem harsh, but when somebody is always pointing out some past mistakes, it makes the other persons feel insecure, scared, tired, upset, angry and they even lose the motivation to fight for that relationship.

TAKEAWAY 

It doesn’t matter if we talk about a romantic relationship, a friendship one or either a family relationship. Being toxic to other people is never good. The first thing you need to do if you feel like the signs above apply to you is to accept the fact that you don’t have the best attitude.

After that, you should talk to your partner every time you want something and if you want that relationship to work, you need to realize that you are not alone and that your partner is valuable. Being a toxic person is not alright, but also, it doesn’t mean that is a permanent thing. As long as you realize this and you are willing to make the bad attitude go away, you’ll be just fine!
