When we are looking to develop relationships with men, the ultimate goal is to have a healthy and satisfying relationship. A healthy relationship enhances the lives of both people involved. It is about more than love or caring deeply for someone because as we all know feelings can go just as deep in all-out toxic relationships. This article is meant to show you examples of both healthy and toxic relationships.

A healthy relationship is one where you feel safe and are safe to be yourself, make your own decisions, and have your own life. This doesn’t mean that your partner can’t be involved in your life but he has to be able to give you space to have a life and be the person that you truly are. If you are only able to achieve peace in your relationship by being someone you are not you will be sacrificing your own happiness for the stability of the relationship.

Think you have a healthy relationship?  Do you know the answers to these 1000 questions for couples?

A toxic relationship erodes your spirit and health. You feel like less than you are when you are with him. The longer you are in this relationship the harder it is to recognize your true self. The stress of an unhealthy relationship can not only make you feel terrible it can literally lead to a number of physical or mental illness.

In a healthy relationship, abuse is not tolerated in any form. Don’t make the mistake of ignoring non-physical forms of abuse or thinking that only men are abusive, it goes both ways. Constant insults, belittling, and restrictive behavior is not good for anyone involved.

In a healthy relationship you can communicate with each other like adults. You can disagree respectfully. You don’t resort to emotional blackmail, passive aggression, or put downs to get your point across.

In a toxic relationship, you walk on eggshells. You never know what will set off an argument or conflict so you watch everything you say and do. Even then, the next blow out is bound to happen; it’s just a matter of time.

In a healthy relationship, your man is not your one and only source of joy and happiness or your entire world. Yes, love is wonderful and it can bring great joy, but it is unhealthy to make one person responsible for making your life worth living.

A toxic relationship is one that encourages dysfunctional, destructive behavior and discourages growth and thriving. If you begin to pick up bad habits or addictions that did not exist before you met him, there is a chance that your relationship is causing that behavior.

How healthy is your relationship? Do you recognize any points from the toxic side? If you are an functional couple overall, congratulations. If you are in an unhealthy relationship (you know the answer) get out or get help. Couples are known to recover from almost unthinkable pasts but at the same time a toxic relationship could be a potentially dangerous situation for your or your partner.
