The unity of the relationship is a sacred thing.

There is a beautiful balance that makes the whole thing feel like a dance between two souls constantly building each other up and supporting each other through the highs and lows.

A relationship is never supposed to make you feel inferior.

Being with a good man means having a solid foundation that only helps you rise when life knocks you down.

This is why it is so important to understand the difference between a healthy relationship and a toxic relationship.

The latter takes away from you, and the former makes you feel like the sky is the limit.

How do you feel when you are next to him?

Does his presence make you want to reach for the stars, or does it weigh you down and hinder you from achieving the success you aspire to?

Here I will describe 7 unfortunate signs that you are with a toxic man who is dragging you down.

If you notice any of these symptoms, my suggestion is to seek solace in a place that fulfills you and with someone who truly understands you.

Life is too short to allow a toxic man to drag you down to his level.

Fight it and thrive instead.

Most days you feel unwell and uncomfortable

There are no particular symptoms. You cannot point to a specific body part that hurts.

It’s literally all over your body.

You feel sick, have difficulty concentrating on your tasks, and your will to do the things you love disappears.

His presence was making you physically deteriorate, but you weren’t brave enough to admit the real reason for that.

This is a wake up call.

Consider this a red flag that you should pay attention to and respond to as soon as possible.

Anxiety has become your middle name

You didn’t use to be that girl. I have always been the happy go lucky girl who wore a bright smile on her face and who radiated positivity.

It was simply who you were and people loved that about you!

But now, you worry all the time.

Nothing brings you peace of mind, and wherever you go, you’d rather be at home.

The girl you used to be is somewhere deep inside, but buried so deep that she can’t find her way out.

You better find your way to it before it’s too late.

Your communication skills have taken a hit

With a full chat where you can find a common interest with a complete stranger within minutes, I have become a girl who is too afraid to start a conversation.

And not just with strangers – with anyone!

Either you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing, or you don’t believe what you have to say is interesting enough.

And he is the reason for this.

It’s the constant shadow of doubt that follows you wherever you go, making you into someone you don’t want to become.

I have become dangerously jealous

A relationship is a place to hide from the world and all your problems.

It is your clarity and your moment of true truth and solidarity.

But with him, you no longer have any of those.

Now, you observe the couples around you and feel endless jealousy of anyone who seems happy.

You feel envious and hate yourself because of it.

But at the same time, you can’t help it.

How did he turn you into this jealous, miserable girl?

More importantly, are you brave enough to face it and return to your old self?

After all, there may be a healthy relationship waiting for you.

(Be brave enough to look for it!)

You are constantly draining your energy

Some days, you feel like you have nothing to offer anyone. You are empty.

You’re only 1% strong, and doing anything seems like a daunting task.

He has literally rid your soul of its will to live!

Don’t accept this as your reality.

You know you can turn this around, right?

You can reclaim your life, restore yourself to your fullest potential, and thrive again.

The only way to achieve this is to leave the toxic man and rid yourself of his exhausting energy!

You can’t remember the last time you had a restful night’s sleep
Sleep…what is this? You literally haven’t slept peacefully in ages!

Every time you go to bed, you lie there awake, wondering what the hell is happening to you.

Why can’t you simply sleep and get at least a few hours of rest?

But this never happens.

Being with a toxic man who is slowly dragging you down means having too much negativity around you at all times, which ultimately prevents you from closing your eyes comfortably.

It affects your sleep and health to a frightening degree!

Your friends don’t know who you are anymore

You get this a lot. Your close friends don’t recognize the person you’ve become.

You are far away, you barely see them, and you don’t even have the strength to explain yourself to them.

It’s easier to float away in a sea of toxicity because you feel trapped with no way out.

But you can fight it. You can find your way back to those who love you.

Let them in. Talk to them!

Don’t let it keep you away from those you cherish forever.

They are your saving grace and can bring you back.

The only trick is – you have to let them!
