Why do some relationships become toxic?

Recognizing that you have past experiences that left a mark on you, it should be normal to share when you want an open and growth oriented relationship.

It is about being aware of your issues, we all have some, and also about sharing it with your partner to find solutions.

It starts with willingness.

This requires both partners being open about it, willing, conscious, aware.

It requires good communication, which implies being able to actually listen to what the other person has to say.

It requires having self control overall to be able to share everything in a constructive manner – that will help the relationship evolve.

It cannot be forced, by one or the other. Must be natural!
