When in a relationship, it is good that your friends get to know your lover.

It makes your lover feel special especially at the prospect of knowing your friends who are like family to you. It makes them a part of that family especially if you do a lot of stuff together. 

The problem sets in when the very friends you trust turn out to be the toxic people to your relationship. It is hard to tell who they are but at some point, there are signs that tell you exactly who they are.

Here are some of the signs that your friends are actually on the verge of bringing whatever you have built to the ground:

1. They are more involved in your relationship than you are

Whenever you find that your friends are too involved in your relationship, it is an early sign that they are in the process of bringing it down. You will find that they get emotional and say stuff about your partner. 

They even try to 'advice' you how best you can handle your partner or how you two can be happy together.

2. They always take you away from your partner

When your friends begin separating you from your partner for whatever reason, you best keep away from them for some time. 

3. They 'over analyse your arguments

If you argue, let it be a private affair. Do not let your friends infiltrate your relationship to the point of knowing when you argue. If they start analysing your arguments and telling you who was wrong, it just means trouble and that you are on the verge of collapsing thanks to them.

4. They disrespect your partner

If they do disrespect your partner in any way, just know that they will start advising you to walk out of the relationship sooner. You should look out for these signs and try to eliminate them. 

Even if you have misunderstandings with your lover, let it be between you. 

5. They don't shy away from flirting with your partner

These kind of friends are the worst. They will flirt with your partner right in front of you and when you pretend to be okay with it, they will overdo it and within no time, your lover will probably be gone. Watch out for such behaviour.
