Relationships.

A relationship has become officially toxic if your basic personal needs are not being met. That should be the final straw (if not sooner). Wait. Let me back up. There are spiritual and emotional needs which need to be met. Most people are so used to ignoring these needs in order to have their most basic of human needs met. Or many people allow the emotional aspect of a relationship to override their need for things like shelter or food. It's sad. I know. In answer to the question, it is time to leave when the relationship or the person starts to bring up negative emotions in you all the time. For instance, when you look at that person and the most overwhelming feeling you feel for them is pity, then it's time to go! Love has it's own time. Sure, you can go look for it, but more often than not, you will find that it is lust and infatuation, not love. Most people are in love with the idea of being in love and the actual person who has become the object of their obsession is lost somewhere in the shuffle. Be careful with your hearts!!

A relationship becomes toxic when its only one party that is concerned about the relationship to work, it is toxic when one partner is misstreating the other one emotionaly and physcaly, when one persons start to be emotionaly absent thats a bad sign. The only cure for such symptoms is to run like crazy, no second thoughts, because if you start saying that the person is going to change you are lying to yourself. It is love to find you and not the opposite.

dear Iamme, i believe that one has a gut feeling when a relatioship is being toxic, but alot of times we choose to ignore, these gut feelings and then go and get our hearts broken. i think when we do that we give into our own wishful thinking where we think, despite, all the red flags, that this person will love us. i believe that love finds you, then you know it is for real. if you try to fabricate love with someone, that's all it is something you invented in your own mind that the other person might not respond to with reciprocal feelings of love. stanzi
