First, know that a toxic relationship can be any kind of relationship, not just one between romantic partners. And the "toxic" label can be applied to a wide variety of bad relationships—emotionally or physically abusive relationships are just one extreme.
The biggest sign that you're in a toxic relationship is that you're unhappy. If you don't enjoy spending time with this person and instead feel anxious, sad, or just generally bad when you're with them, it's time to take a hard look at the relationship and figure out what's wrong. Sometimes you can work through what's making it toxic, and other times, you just have to walk away.
Some specific behaviors that might indicate the person is toxic for you:
- Excessive negativity
- Control (subtle or overt)
- Passive aggression
- Not taking ownership
- Constantly undermining you
- Making you feel like you can't voice concerns

∙ 15y agoSandra Brown MA's book WOMEN WHO LOVE PSYCHOPATHS would answer this fully for you.
The most obvious sign is when one party takes incessantly, with no real concern for the other party's needs. If there are no drugs or alcohol involved, you are almost certainly dealing with either sociopathic personality disorder (a more correct name for sociopath) or narcissistic personalty disorder. Neither make good partners, and you should seek help for yourself, not for them.

∙ 14y agoMany times it is not discovered until a dramatic abusive event occurs. The issue with it is that it usually occurs at the same time as another major life event, easily blurring the lines and creating doubt as to what is real and what is not. If you find yourself continually down and confused after a relationship moment, usually those requiring intimacy (openness, trust, love), it is likely the narcissist at work. The ability of the narcissist to project onto those that are failing them in some way is used ferociously at times when the victim needs support the most. the victim will many times find themselves so confused by a long series of events that there is no good starting point or event to even talk about and the internalization of the narcissists view of the victim is completed where the victim owns all of the lies, or seems like they lying themselves. It is possible because of the nature of caregivers is based on trust and the narcissist is an expert at gaining it by projecting this feeling immediately and caregivers become the next unknowing victim.
Anyone who has read this far must become aware of this personality disorder. Men are much more easily spotted, women are not. Typically, the codependency is deeply ingrained and if you find yourself owning issues that are clearly your spouses, stop it and get help now. You will know when they are approached and you are left with a feeling of confusion as to why you caused the problem. Do not wait because of finances, time, availability or any other excuse. He/she will have tons of "reassuring" statements of how you are just going through a bad time, and all the while withdrawing further and saying you are the cause. This will render you incapable of effectively dealing with the issue in your lives. You have permanently lost your value to the narcissist, as they are unable to forgive, apologize, or see another point of view. You may think they are angry (all communication is done with a reason to feed themselves) but the opinion made lasts forever. You will find yourself confused when you find out about something they said or did that hurts you or is in contradiction and as an answer you find yourself discussing you. Run, and run fast if this happens. Go to a therapist experienced in personality disorders. If you have allowed this to go on for a long time (which you did, you now realize) you are suffering from one also, and need to reestablish reality and boundaries. Do not enter marriage counseling. It is you with the issue of needing help and the other person's reason for attending is to destroy you. Stop all communication of the issues and become consistent in maintaining chores and job searches, etc. without discussing them. If you find yourself being projected on and have the inability to leave the relationship immediately you must start a therapy program individually now at any cost. Protect this relationship with the therapist. Allow for mutual meetings with another therapist if the spouse so desires. Do not allow them to meet this one. Do not leave information of the name, number appointment time or other ways for the narcissist to contact them. They are masters of confidence and will find a way to interject themselves into your therapy and negate it.

A toxic relationship can be in an array of different things. In my experience, the toxicity was coming from verbal communication. When someone makes you feel like you are not worth anything, it should not be taken lightly. Or when they blame you or others for things they have done.
