Some relationships can be safely called toxic – they literally emotionally poison people. It occurs when a couple moves for selfish reasons and a desire for power over another. But sometimes our conclusions about the alleged abuser are far from the truth.
In order to understand the real causes of what is happening in your relationship, we suggest looking at some cases from a different angle.
Signs that your partner loves you
6. Constant preaching
Yes, that’s annoying. You could do this. You could do that. But is this really your partner’s discontent with you? Look closer.
Perhaps they are simply sure that you are capable of more or think that you were wrong to bury your talent. It is true when they say that the spectators see more than the players.
5. And nothing but the truth
Be honest: when you ask a question, do you really want to hear the true answer, or do you just want confirmation that you’re right?
It is very important that you answer this question yourself first, so as not to mislead your loved one’s overly direct answers later.
4. Distancing in response to distancing
Love is a roller coaster. It rises when feelings arise with renewed vigor and falls when everyday life and problems begin to exert their pernicious influence.
If your partner needs alone time to deal with your problems, don’t consider it the end of your relationship. Rest.
3. Dissatisfaction with your appearance
Basically, each of us desperately needs compliments to convince himself that appearance is not the yardstick by which a good person is judged.
But if you suddenly gained weight that knocked your socks off, your partner’s comments can be attributed to concern for your health, rather than wanting to take offense.
2. Spend free time apart
We all have different personalities, interests and contact circles. If your partner is an avid fisherman and nature lover, while you enjoy bowling and loud parties, don’t be offended if he doesn’t invite you to the lake. Just remember how bored you were last time.
1. Distancing after fights
All people fight from time to time. It is normal. But it is not normal to expect your partner to come running to reconcile immediately.
We all need time to calm down and consider our feelings and the words we are saying. This is a need, not a desire to make it hurt even more.
