SIGNS THAT SHOWS THEY MIGHT BE TOXIC FOR YOU-
1. Lack of support
“Healthy relationships are based on a mutual desire to see the other succeed in all areas of life,” Caraballo says. But when things turn toxic, every achievement becomes a competition.
In short, the time you spend together no longer feels positive. You don’t feel supported or encouraged, and you can’t trust them to show up for you. Instead, you might get the impression that your needs and interests don’t matter, that they only care about what they want.
2. Toxic communication
Instead of kindness and mutual respect, most of your conversations are filled with sarcasm or criticism and fueled by contempt .
3. Envy or jealousy
While it’s perfectly fine to experience a little envy from time to time, Caraballo explains it can become an issue if your envy keeps you from thinking positively about your partner’s successes.
4. Controlling behaviors
Does your partner ask where you are all the time? Maybe they become annoyed or irritated when you don’t immediately answer texts or text you again and again until you do.
These behaviors might stem from jealousy or trust, but they can also suggest a need of control — both of which can contribute to relationship toxicity. In some cases, these attempts at control can also suggest abuse (more on this later).
5. Resentment
Holding on to grudges and letting them fester chips away at intimacy.
6. Dishonesty
You find yourself constantly lying about your whereabouts or who you meet up with — whether that’s because you want to avoid spending time with your partner or because you worry how they’ll react if you tell them the truth.

For many of us, it can be difficult to acknowledge when a relationship becomes toxic; however, if someone is treating you cruelly, is manipulative, is always criticizing you or is emotionally abusive, then it may be time to remove that relationship from your life. Whether this toxic relationship is with a friend, family member or coworker, it is important to recognize when a relationship is causing you undue harm and in turn, amplifying depression.
While the thought of removing a relationship from your life can feel overwhelming, it is important to recognize that your mental well-being comes first. You can’t change how people treat you, so how can you remove toxic people from your life? Here are a few tips to consider if you want to end a relationship that isn’t healthy so you can improve your mental health.

for our mental peace and happy life we need to fix our boundaries and develop understanding .Mental health is essential to personal well-being, family and interpersonal relationships, and the ability to contribute to community or society. Having a headstrong and opinionated partner who can be emotionally abusive, is unfortunate. Nevertheless, while plotting your way out of such a relationship you must stand your ground and ensure that the partner doesn’t have his way all the time. Watching your life spiral out of control can be a daunting feeling, yet it is inevitable when you let a romantic partner make all your decisions for you. So, you must reclaim power over your own life by setting boundaries that ensure your lover cannot control or manipulate you.
