A good relationship makes you feel secure, happy, cared for, respected, and free to be yourself; on the contrary, a toxic relationship make you feel drained, depleted, and sometimes even distraught. Then how do you know your relationship is toxic? There are many warning signs indicating you might have entered a toxic relationship.
