Being with a partner has always been a major part of human life. Feeling that you are loved and having a sense of connection is like an ease to our mental health.

However, it is proven that not every relationship can be healthy; some can create toxicity as well, so it is important to recognize the red flags and avoid toxic patterns.

And here is your guide to finding red flags in a relationship.

1. Lack of Trust

Trust is the foundation of any relationship. It should be from both sides, people can have doubts sometimes but it should not turn into distrust.

2. Gaslighting

You have probably heard of it, it's a hot topic in today's dating world. When your partner blames you for something you did, it's a clear red flag.

3. Controlling or Manipulative Behavior

It is one of the most common red flags in relationships. If they start controlling your every moment, your relationships with others, or even how you dress and where you go, then it is a red flag.

4. Overly Jealous Behaviour

Being a little jealous in a relationship is okay and pretty common, too. But if it starts turning into possessive and controlling behaviour, then it might turn into emotional abuse in the future.

5. Self Centered

If they only care about their emotions and their preferences, at first they love to bomb you, and suddenly everything you do is a problem to them. And they think they are always on the right side.
