Writer Lillian Glass, author of the book Toxicity in Relationships, revealed six main signs that it is important not to ignore to determine if your partner has tendencies towards manipulation and tricks.
The first sign is that your partner's words sound too positive to be true. If you are turned on by his compliments and statements aimed only at what you want to hear, this may indicate suspicious behavior.
The second sign indicates that the partner tries to hide his negative sides, such as a bad character or financial problems. This may be a sign of insufficient readiness to change oneself.
The third sign indicates the presence of strange behavior or statements that irritate you. Asking detailed questions can reveal the true meaning of these actions.
The fourth sign indicates the use of unkind words, which can then be justified as a joke. You should also pay attention to delays in responses, as this may be an attempt to buy time to create a profitable response.
The fifth sign indicates that your partner may try to "teach" you or make you feel less valuable. Toxic individuals choose strong and independent partners.
The sixth sign concerns changes in your appearance. If you notice that you lose yourself around a toxic person, this may indicate the influence of a negative environment.
Considering these signs, you can better understand whether you should stick with the relationship or try to change something.
