Recognizing Red Flags in a Relationship

Early detection of warning signs (disrespect , criticism, jealousy) is crucial to safeguard oneself.

Lack of respect Respect is vital for a healthy relationship. If your spouse ignores your boundaries, emotions, or decisions, it's toxic. Both need to feel valued.

 Constant criticism  Constructive criticism is vital for communication, but if your spouse frequently makes you feel terrible about yourself, it's a warning sign.   .

Control issues Your spouse shouldn't control your life. Toxic relationships involve partners who manage every aspect of it.  Trust and appreciation for judgment are vital.

Isolation

If your partner stops you from seeing friends or family, it's alarming. They may discourage you or make you feel lonely. It's a sign of a toxic relationship.

Jealousy A little jealousy can be charming, but possessiveness is aa red flag. Your spouse should feel safe around you, not threatened by others.

Blaming

Toxic relationships blame you for their issues and make you feel guilty for things beyond your control. Recognize this and don't accept responsibility for their actions.

Physical abuse

Physical abuse in a toxic relationship requires immediate treatment. Seek help if you or someone you kanow is experiencing it.

Emotional manipulation

Toxic relationships use emotional manipulation to control you. Recognize this behavior and defend yourself against guilt, terror, or other tactics.
