Keeping secrets

Keeping information from your partner can create a breakdown in trust and can cause serious misunderstandings, ultimately damaging the very foundation of the relationship. iStock

Expecting one person to fulfill all needs

Relying solely on the partner for all emotional, social, and personal needs is unhealthy because it can create an imbalance leading to frustration and resentment. iStock

Being overly judgmental

Constantly criticizing your partner's choices or behaviors results in a toxic and undermined relationship. iStock

Assuming your partner can read your mind

Having the hope that someone else can read your mind causes you unnecessary frustration and unnecessary conflict. iStock

Being possessive

Too much jealousy or controlling every move made by your partner can choke them out, making them push away and a breakdown in trust of the relationship. iStock

Not communicating

This is one of the deadliest ways because it leads to miscommunication and issues which are never solved and tend to rise with time. iStock

Not setting boundaries

Undefined boundaries cause discomfort or violation; therefore, both individuals must be clear on the boundaries. iStock

Complaining about your relationship to others

Discussing your relationship with your friends instead of your partner can ruin your relation and may bring other issues concerning trust. iStock

Winning arguments instead of finding solutions

Winning rather than trying to find solutions breeds resentment and hurts harmony and mutual respect in relationships. iStock

Believing that your partner should be flawless sets unrealistic standards, leading to disappointment and a lack of appreciation for their genuine qualities. iStock
