6 ways to make toxic relationships healthy

How do you know you are in a toxic relationship?
A toxic relationship is one that makes you feel bad, unwanted, unappreciated, disrespected, and misunderstood. You can’t do anything to please your partner.
If you have a partner who is too controlling, abusive, selfish, unforgiving, and unfaithful, it means your partner has toxic traits. In these articles, I am going to explain how to make your relationship healthy.
1. Self-reflection
You and your partner need to create time for each other and think about how to make the relationship work. Think about the things you are doing wrong that are making the relationship toxic.
So when you self-reflect, it will help you know what the next step is in your relationship.
2. Identify the issue.
Learn to identify the reason why your relationship is toxic and unhealthy. Be honest with yourself. Are you the one making the relationship unhealthy and toxic? Learn to identify the issues and fix them.
3. Communicate
A relationship can’t work without communication. You and your partner need to have a healthy relationship if you want your relationship to work for good.
If you listen to your partner’s side of the story, you will understand why they are behaving toxic. You don’t have to fight each other to resolve things. Learn to apologize to each other when necessary. Don’t let pride get into your relationship.
Communication helps in healing a toxic relationship.
4. Forgive.
It might be hard to do, but you have to forgive your partner from the heart to make things work again. If you can’t forgive your partner, things won’t work for the better, and such a thing will make your relationship toxic. Learn to forgive and forget. It will help your relationship.
5. Make a Positive Difference.
Learn to change for good and stop those bad habits your partner is complaining about. It is time you change that toxic behavior if you want a healthy relationship. Stop doing negative things your partner dislikes.
