<p>You were out with
friends having a great time until someone mentioned your partner’s name, and
instantly that ‘Bloody Mary’ tasted like real blood. This realisation confirmed
that things are far from good and that your relationship went from really
terrific to truly toxic.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Though you may be
denying it to yourself, finding the good about your relationship is becoming increasingly
hard, and you cannot wait to go to work or to your family residence to just
breathe and enjoy some peace of mind. If this is your typical outlook, things
are now bordering on toxic, and it may be time to wave the white flag and
surrender gracefully.</p>

<p>The following are clear
signs that your relationship is in trouble. Do not ignore them. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>The fights are constant. The squabbles are over
petty things that are not usually the main problem(s).</li><li>You no longer want to go home. When your home is no
longer a sanctuary but more like a prison, things are really bad.</li><li>You can no longer picture a future with the person.</li><li>You get secretive and start making plans as an
individual and not as a couple.</li><li>You cannot hide your contempt for your partner whenever
their name is mentioned.</li><li>One or both of you are passive-aggressive with each
other.</li><li>The blame game is intense and ongoing.</li><li>Criticism is exploited to hurt or show disdain for
each other. </li><li>You no longer go out as a couple.</li><li>Whenever you are together, there is an underlying
tension. Even when people are present, it is palpable and makes others
uncomfortable. </li></ul>
