😟 "When the rose-colored glasses fade."

In the beginning of a relationship, everything can seem fairytale like in the best romantic movies. But if over time you notice gray clouds of doubt and anxiety appearing instead of rose-colored glasses, that could be the first signal.

🚩 "Alarm Signals: How to Recognize When Something's Wrong"

Toxic relationships can manifest themselves in a variety of ways, from being overly controlling to destroying your self-esteem. If you feel like you're constantly making excuses for your partner, experiencing guilt, or constant stress is showing up, it could be a signal that the relationship is becoming toxic.

🌈 "Heads Up: How to Deal with Toxicity"

The first step to a healthy relationship is to recognize the situation. If you notice signs of toxicity, don't hesitate to discuss it with your partner. An open conversation can be the first step to understanding and changing the situation.

💔 "When words don't work."

In some cases, talking can be ineffective. If you are constantly feeling overwhelmed, humiliated or ignored, it may be time to think about how to maintain your own health and well-being.

🌟 "Love Yourself: Take care of your happiness."

Self-love is a key element of a healthy relationship. If you feel like a relationship is overwhelming you, don't be afraid to take steps toward your happiness. Sometimes making the decision to stop a toxic relationship on your own is the most valuable gift you can give yourself.

🌈 "A New Phase: After Toxicity."

Remember that after a difficult period comes a time of recovery. The support of friends and family can be invaluable, and new, healthy relationships are a great chance to recover and blossom.

So put a smile on your face, my darlings! You deserve only the best relationships and happiness. 💕😊

With love and hope,
