When I think about that in the relationships I've had or in those I've seen with friends or couples I work with as a sex therapist, I think of anything that has been abusive, controlling or manipulative.
That's what is scary about toxicity in a relationship. Eventually you may wonder how you got there, because when you first became a couple it wasn't like this. But maybe it was? Maybe there were small signs, because sometimes we really don't pay attention to red flags.Of course abusive behavior should not be tolerated, but sometimes as a therapist I see signs of abusive behavior in the way couples I work with talk to each other.
I've seen that toxic controlling behavior in friends' relationships; where they can't go anywhere without getting permission from their partner. They have to say where they are or they have locators on their phone so their partner knows where they are at all times. For some relationships, this monitoring is the norm and both parties are OK with it.
There will usually be confrontation in relationships; arguments and disagreements. The problem is not the argument, it's how you move through it with conflict management and resolution.
