This one trait can indicate that your relationship has gone toxic

Relationships are hard. That is an understatement.

But sometimes they evolve into a toxic space, and many people do not realise it went there.

There is one trait that is a red flag.

And it is simple.

Being quick to make sacrifices for your partner.

Sacrifice is great in a relationship. You can’t always get your way, so letting your partner have their way at your expense is good.

But then when the sacrifice is too easy and too given, both sides do not feel so great.

  • The giver feels as if they gave too much and too little has been gotten back. They well-being is lowered and so is their self-esteem. It just feels much.
  • The receiver feels guilty that they have gone that far for gain and feel indebted.

So what do you do?

Well it is not simple but it can be done.

  • Change your focus and what you want from the relationship. What that means is that you see a bright side to the sacrifice and see what should be the good. Be proud of being generous and see happiness.
  • Consider if the sacrifice is necessary. Sacrifice of your own life plans or interests may not always be necessary. Weigh out if it is necessary no matter how you feel.

All the best, and love.
