Easily. Love is not part of a toxic relationship. Get your head on straight.

@PoetryNEmotion How do you know when it's toxic or when it's just a storm you have to overcome with your partner?

@theyellowkeys Great question. If you feel unloved, inadequate, harmed, worthless, etc., that is toxic. Listen, love will not bring anger, abuse, isolation, and a host of negative feelings. A couple may argue or disagree, but an underlying sense of compassion and caring still exists. If it is a constant battle, that is unhealthy. You know if you are loved. Trust exists. Loyalty is there. Could you live happily without this person in your life? Love is s joy not a hurt. Examine why the other person is upset or fighting with you? Is the reason valid? Are you both working at dolving the concern? Is it a power struggle? Is it who wins? Coiples who love seek to dolve their conglicts. There is no name calling or emotional or physical abuse. I know what I know. Thank you.
