5 alarming signs in relationships you should not ignore 

Toxic relationships can significantly affect your mental health and well-being. Here are five alarming red flags in a relationship you should not ignore.

Love bombing

Love bombing is an emotional manipulation technique that involves excessive compliments and attention as a means to control your partner eventually. 

Inconsistency

Inconsistency and unreliability are red flags in a partner. If your partner constantly makes excuses and is inconsistent, it can indicate they are not ready for a committed relationship.

Gaslighting

This is a manipulative technique in which your partner can make you question your sanity. It can happen if your partner is unable to take accountability for their behaviour. 

Controlling

Jealousy and insecurity are normal emotions that can arise in relationships. However, if your partner becomes controlling about everything you do, it is a major red flag. 

Lack of communication

Lack of communication can ruin a relationship. If your partner does not express their emotions or seems disconnected when you are talking, then these are unhealthy signs.
