Signs of an unhealthy relationship is not good for us and we know all about that.
But how come more and more people today are becoming involved with them.
It could be that our society has gone so far downhill that we do not know anymore about having a healthy relationship and what it is truly about.
But then again we know that we are clueless as how to break the cycle because it has become an addiction.
Unhealthy relationships can be addictive and the sad part is we are not aware of it and many times people involved do not know.
This is because most of them, if not all are raised in a dysfunctional family environment or society.
Today, this feels as normal and it is all that they know.
Consequently, there will be a pattern of unhealthy behaviors which will continue to worsen.
The Warning Signs The warning signs of an unhealthy relationship all falls to the lost of trust within the parties involved.
Lack of trust is the leading cause of having unhealthy relationship.
Trust requires both partners to believe that the other will still love them, even when they commit many mistakes.
They are being truthful about being at fault, and they can be vulnerable in front of each other.
If you find yourself lying to cover when you make a mistake, or if you are afraid of your partner seeing you less to perfect, you are not being your true and honest self.
On a deeper level, lying, hiding the truth, withholding information are signs of bad and unhealthy relationships.

• Disrespect is another sign of bad relationship.
  Respect simply means treating the other person as important and valuable.
  Every one of us wants to be treated this way.
  Good communication is an exchange of listening and sharing of ideas.
  When you treat a person with respect as if he is important, you would never hurt him, mistreat him, put him down in front of the public and most especially berate him.
  Sarcasm, taking the other person for granted or constantly the other person on the defensive will all fall in the disrespect category.
  
• No space in a relationship will eventually lead to an unhealthy relationship.
  In a good relationship, both people have time with each other and have time apart from each other.
  When you are together too much, you will feel smothered.
  You may enjoy being with your partner almost 24/7, however, the time apart will provide the chance to discuss when you are together again.
  If you are apart, neither the partner should resent the time apart or act jealous about it.
  
• Fear of change.
  Bad relationships depend on the person to stay exactly the same way, and change is set with resentment and suspicion, as if one partner change just hurt the another person.
  
• Physical or emotional abuse is the clearest sign of all; abuse rears its ugly when the previous four signs of bad relationships are out of control.
  When there is no trust, no space, no respect and no room for growth.
  Your life is boxed with fear and if you do not do anything that will not please your partner, you will be punished.
  As we all know punishment has no place in any relationships.
  
• Relationships will experience the different phases as people will experience different moments in life.
  Sometimes couple who are so in love with each other are not clicking for some reason or another.
  When you notice any signs of an unhealthy relationship in your own setting, the best thing to do is talk and communicate with your partner.
