3 things men say that imply you’re in a ‘toxic relationship’, warns dating coach
Relationships are meant to be nurturing and fulfilling. Not recognizing the unhealthy signs can result in a toxic relationship that lacks, respect, trust, honesty, and everything that defines a healthy union.
While walking away from a partner who doesn’t share the same life values as you is essential, the reasons to call quits on the relationship, including infidelity can be detrimental to your mental health.
3 things men say in a toxic relationship
If you don’t know what an unhealthy relationship looks like, dating coach Ollie Pearce breaks down common red flags that shouldn’t be ignored.
The cause of an unfulfilling relationship could be many – you only attract emotionally unavailable people, perhaps you’re dating a narcissist or you are just seeking companionship, without paying attention to your needs and desires.
Regardless of the reason, the wisest choice could be to set healthy boundaries for yourself or walk away from a partner incapable of treating you better.
He prides himself on being the ‘breadwinner’
It’s high time you realized your partner is toxic if he considers himself the sole breadwinner for the family, with little or no regard for your contributions.
Ollie says if a man expects his wife or girlfriend to do all the chores because he earns more or has a disposable income, he is not just being “toxic”, but is also incapable of treating his partner as equal.
When he talks about other women to upset you
A toxic man who intends to jangle your last nerve always talks about other women in a way that comes across as demeaning to you.
It could be inappropriate remarks about another woman’s appearance or extensively following random females on social media. He does it because it doesn’t sit well with you while stroking his ego.
He’s always angry
Random bouts of rage are a tell-tale sign of a toxic man. Not only does he show off his haughty behavior without any sense of guilt, but also blames you for his tantrums, making his problem yours.
“Despite always walking on eggshells around him, you’ll always seem to end up as the object of his bad mood,” Ollie warns. The behavior also stems from the core mentality that you will never tell him off or walk out of the relationship.
The dating coach warns that the above behaviors will only worsen with time because a toxic man is too entitled, with absolute disregard for your feelings.
Ollie Pearce is an online dating coach, who also offers fashion and lifestyle advice for men. His website claims he has over a decade of experience in the mens advice and self-development industry.
