People Share ‘Red Flags’ They Ignored In Their Relationships That Turned Out To Be Very Toxic (30 Pics)

That's pretty much the textbook definition of gaslighting. Sounds like you are well out of it.

The whole US feels that way about Trump. (At least the sane parts of it.)

"You're always exaggerating"

First one accused me of cheating on him with his brothers, his dad, the landlord, postman and every man that came within a mile of us. In the meantime, he was sleeping with his ex girlfriend AND the woman that gave birth to me! Secong one hit me in the head with his fist 10 days after we got married. He found himself with the business end of his Pinkerton security pistol right between his eyes. Now at a crusty old 71 year old, I ain't got time for that anymore.

eww...

I just came out of this exact relationship. Feels good to be free.

I knew my relationship was toxic when I moved in with him. He showered me with gifts and romance... After that everything changed and became the complete opposite. After high tailing it out of there with the help of family, my sister sent me an article of explaining what a narrcicist is. He fit Every. Single. Line.

I had an ex like that. Found out he was that way because he found it so easy for HIM to cheat and was worried I could do the same.

Classic abuser.

i hope that these people can get the relationships they need and deserve

Trump??

I dont think this is toxic. my bf does this.

This is the worst way of destroying someone. It's invisible to others but it tears you apart.

It's funny, I was in one relationship like this. One day I apologized for being needy and I immediately remembered I'm not a needy person. It was the games he played that were turning me into someone else. It was eye opening.

That last line is what I'm going through. I didn't know what to do.

And I would love to hear the other side of this one... always wondered how that other significant one sees these kind of issues. However, no one should feel like this in a relationship and good you left that.

Oh man, I know that feeling. Been on my own now for 18 months and I'm stronger and happier than ever. I was a sad shell before.

That's true. In a healthy relationship you should be able to count on your partner whatever happens. That way those kind of feelings should not be able to come up. Yeah of course there can be a phase for whatever reason where you feel kind of that but it should never be a constant thing

Unfortunately, for people dealing with trauma or insecure attachment styles, many of these feelings can come up even when the relationship is healthy. Though how you are met in that space by your partner makes all the difference between healthy and toxic.

I felt bad and insecure, anxious, ... BECAUSE he started being toxic immediately. "I like your earrings / tits / anything because it reminds me my ex". Ended with him breaking his phone on my nose (nose broken aswell)... So "I just felt bad" is maybe a tiny little bit light? I mean.. without any reason?

Maybe those are personally issues you need to deal with and not blame them on your partner... not enough detail to prove your case

That's a sure way to damage someone's self-esteem

Yeah and when you do they accuse you of doing it for someone else and they think you’re cheating. 🙄

that is not a nice thing to say for in matthew 7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

Boy it's not about the looks.

Classic DV behaviour - leaves you with nowhere left to turn.

That is a sure sign... but usually it takes a while to realize what's happening...

“If I can’t hang out with people who don’t respect our relationship, you’re abusing me.” There’s a difference between having close and casual friends. And even nuances within those two groups.

This one sounds very embarrassing. It must have gotten you lots of inappropriate and unwanted attention from strangers.

My ex did this.. He would constantly talk about all of the attractive women who was always starring at him and coming on to him.. The cashiers in every supermarket he came in were always hitting on him.. But god fobid if I even thought about looking at another guy.

My most recent ex (we're middle-aged) was actually OGLING cheerleaders at a local event. I mean, staring at them like he didn't even care - he looked like a total perv to me at that moment.

Another ex did this too except with reality TV stars. We watched real housewives of Atlanta and he would comment on butt sizes. He said that I need to look more like this white woman. Um, I'm clearly black.

my wife do that and i Don't care. she have the right to find other people attractive. it's the EVERY the problem here.

Sounds like he left, which I highly recommend if he hasn't.

Many people don't understand how many men are physically or mentally abused by their partner.

I feel sorry for Victor but happy to see a man posting to show that it isn't always men who are the bad ones in a relationship

Oh man, this hurts.... so much love for anyone who has been here

Yep. Could say the same!

Been there

That's why I don't want apologies, they don't do much, I want change. A lot of people apologise because they feel like that's what they should do, but then they continue the same kind of behaviour

apologies don’t mean anything but owning up to your mistakes and trying to improve means everything

Don't blame yourself for hanging around, it's really hard to leave an abusive relationship, especially when it's emotionally and mentally abusive because then it's easy for you to think you're just overreacting or making things up. And people like these control you and manipulate you and threaten you into staying
