It is no news that two people from different cultural backgrounds and belief systems could come together to form an awesome relationship, only to quickly discover that they are with the wrong person.

A little while, issues spring out of their struggle to understand and care for each other. In most cases, the relationships end in separation or outright divorce. This is a product of toxic relationships.

What is a toxic relationship? What can trigger a once fun-filled relationship into toxicity? What are the signs that the relationship has nose-dived into abuse and sometimes violence? How can we tackle this relationship dilemma and make it blissful once again? These are the issues I shall be discussing in this article.

Dr. Lillian Glass, author of the book, "Toxic People", defines a toxic relationship as "any relationship [between people who] don't support each other, where there's conflict and one seeks to undermine the other, where there's competition, where there will be disrespect and a lack of cohesiveness."

In one sentence: A toxic relationship is a relationship that's detrimental to your life and existence.

There are different types of toxic lovers in a relationship. They include:

CONTROLLING LOVER
The controlling lover or controller is a partner who believes that it is their right to dominate and control the relationship. They allow little or no input from their partners.

JEALOUS PARTNER
This partner is driven by the fear of losing their partners to other lovers. They discourage their partners from socializing with others.

LOW SELF-WORTH PARTNER
They are similar to the jealous partner. They do not believe in themselves and secretly they do not deserve the relationship they in.

NEGATIVE THINKING PARTNER
They never see anything good in their partners or the relationship. They are chronic complainers.

CHEATING PARTNER.
This partner has unfaithfulness, deceit, and dishonesty as comfortable companions. They are the first people to suspect when the relationship begins to get toxic.

UNTRUTHFUL PARTNER
This is a partner who builds their relationship with you on the foundation of lies.

ABUSIVE PARTNER
This partner looks for every opportunity to verbally or physically attack you. They are dedicated to finding faults in others.
