Do you always have to come up with an explanation to not be mad at them? You can’t go like that for too long. Dr. Onyejiaka wants us to open our eyes and accept that there is a problem instead of overlooking it. Your girl’s yelling can’t be justified by resolving that she might have had a rough day. Likewise, if your texts always get blue-ticked, but not answered, that’s not without purpose.

 

 

You don’t get to make any decisions

Not even the ones involving only you. Be it how often you see your friends or the job you are at, you feel obliged to have their say and ultimately, end up going with their suggestion. What started as your attempt to strengthen your bond has now led to your partner controlling you.

This is one of the strongest signs of a toxic person, warns Sandeep K Aggarwal, CEO of Skaology.

 

 

You are distanced from your friends and fa mily

Do you often find yourself canceling plans you make with your friends or family? You can’t have turned socially distant all of a sudden. Either you are too burdened at work or drained handling this relationship. If the former isn’t the case, then certainly it’s your partner. If they decide to take you out on the same day or plead you to keep them company, you should know that all they want is to distance you from all others who are special to you.
