A relationship where there is no trust
Trust is key in a relationship. Trust is what keeps lovers/couples together and if you are in a relationship where you are not trusted then you have definitely subjected your heart to toxicity emerging from frequent moments of pain. No relationship can be built without trust.
A relationship where only one person is in control
Sometimes you find it easy following your partner's decisions for you thinking that he/she cares for you so much and so you don't need to disobey his/her directives.
