Not all relationships are worth saving or maintaining. If you are in a toxic relationship and the relationship is draining you, it is probably time to consider leaving the relationship, unless your partner is willing to change his or her ways.

But how can you tell if you are in a toxic relationship in the first place. There is a difference between a toxic relationship and a relationship that still can be saved.

Well, to find out if you are in a toxic relationship, here are a few questions that you may want to ask yourself.

1) Does your partner take pleasure in insulting or humiliating you in front of others?

2) Does your partner say he/she loves you but his/her action shows otherwise?

3) Is your partner a possessive person such that he/she controls your every single move? Maybe he/she check you mobile phones or emails without your permission?

4) Does your partner make you feel worthless so that you will be dependent on them?

5) Does your partner expect you to change yourself in order to please him or her?

6) In general, does your partner abuse you physically or even emotionally?

If you answer yes to most or all of these questions, you may be in a toxic relationship, especially when abuse is involved.

Leaving a toxic relationship is not always easy for many different reasons. First, your partner may be the sole bread winner and you are financially dependent on them. If you have children, the situation is even more difficult.

If you are in this situation, it may be time to seek help. You may want to ask for help from your family members, friends or even neighbors. Do not confront your partner alone if he is prone to violence. It is not easy but you may have to do it eventually for the sake of yourself and your children.
