7 Signs You’re in a Toxic Relationship (And Don’t Even Know It)

Are you in a toxic relationship and don’t even realize it? In this episode of Talk Your Shit Daily, Big Slick breaks down the clear signs of a toxic relationship that many people ignore.

From lack of communication and constant arguments to emotional manipulation, physical altercations, and partners intentionally hurting each other — these are serious red flags you should never overlook.

We cover:
 • Signs of poor communication in relationships
 • Constant arguing and toxic cycles
 • Emotional manipulation and intentional hurt
 • Physical altercations and unhealthy conflict
 • Being talked down to and emotionally disrespected
 • Partners who can’t uplift or support you
 • Toxic relationship patterns that feel “normal”

Many people stay in unhealthy relationships because the toxicity becomes familiar. But arguing all the time, feeling drained, being disrespected, or constantly fighting in public are not signs of love — they are warning signs.

This episode also talks about when a toxic relationship can be fixed and when it’s time to walk away.

If you’re dealing with relationship problems, emotional abuse, communication issues, or red flags in dating or marriage, this conversation will help you identify what’s really going on.

What up, what up, what up, what up? I'm your boy, Big Slick, and welcome to Talk Your Shit Daily. As always, we got another great episode for you today. But first, I want to give a shout out to all my listeners. Whether you're at home, at work, in your car, all the truck drivers on the road, I appreciate you tuning in. And if you didn't subscribe yet, hit the button, man. Look, check this out, man. I'm gonna jump right into the episode today. This episode is about signs that you're in a toxic relationship. A lot of people are in toxic relationships and don't even know they're in them. So we're gonna go over a couple of things to let you identify if you're in a toxic relationship. First thing is communication. If you and the person that you're with is not communicating a lot, then you're in a toxic relationship, right? The first thing to being in a relationship is communication, talking to each other, expressing your feelings. All these things falls under communication. You can't do nothing without talking to somebody, unless you're a mind reader or something like that. But you have to communicate now. Speaking on the men's behalf, because I only can speak on a male perspective of this men, we're not really good at communicating. This is something that we have to develop. It just is it really is. We just don't come with the communication thing. Our our communicating is more through actions, you know, it's more through doing something, you know, physical, it's not really through talking a lot, right? So that's something we have to develop communication, you know, showing vulnerability. That's with communication. So that's something men gotta develop, all right. But outside of that, if you're not communicating, none, I ain't even saying well, if it's no communication going on, and you just you know, y'all just walking past each other and not really talking about you know important topics and stuff of that nature, the signs that you're in a toxic relationship. Another thing is okay, if you are communicating, but all your communication is more aggressive, it's it's arguments, right? You you you you're arguing all the time. It's like you you argue, then you make up, then you argue, then you make up, then you argue, then you make up. This is also a toxic relationship. This is a toxic cycle that can go on for years, you know. That you know, you just get used to it, and you'll think it's normal. Yeah, hey, me and my girl, yo, she always argues, it don't make a difference, yo. She cut my tires, it's okay, I'll get a new pair. It is what it is. This is not a good relationship. You you you're trapped into a toxic cycle. These are signs that you're in a toxic relationship, right? Another sign is this if y'all intentionally intentionally set out to hurt each other's feelings, like just do stuff to get a reaction out of somebody, right? That's a toxic relationship. Why would you want to hurt somebody's feelings to get a reaction out of them, right? Why don't you get a happy reaction out of them? Why why you want to see them angry? That's a toxic relationship. If you want to see the person you supposedly love, supposedly love, angry, this is signs you're in a toxic relationship, right? Arguing all the time, not communicating, and you intentionally try to hurt each other. This is a toxic relationship. Another one is this. If every time you're out with your, you know, with your girl or you know, girl out with their man, and you always get into an altercation with somebody else, like I and I done, I done saw this with my own eyes, you know, from from from people that the guy is always fighting. What the dude is is always fighting somebody for you. It's all the time. He you always gotta fight another guy for you. Why? What are you doing to have this guy out here fighting every day? That's a toxic relationship. I don't know. Some women just like to see their men fight other people for. I'm gonna get my man, I'm gonna go get my like what you know I mean, and and the girl is dead wrong, but the guy come out, and this is how, and seriously speaking, this is how a lot of guys get hurt, man. You know, you you you running out and you think you're protecting your girl, but she's actually starting stuff so you can go do this. I don't know if that's it's in in in her head that's proven to her that you love her. I don't know, but that's toxic. That's a toxic relationship. Guys do the same thing too, you know. It goes both ways. Guys are how they get some girls out there fighting all day for them. For what? Like, I don't I really don't understand it. This is signs that you're in a toxic relationship. Get out of it. I don't get it. Some people like to be in it, some people are in it and don't even know that they're actually in it. So if any of these signs you see, you're in a toxic relationship. Now, the thing is, all this can be fixable, but it depends on the people that's in this relationship. You can fix all of this, you can start communicating, you can start working things out, but you gotta identify that you're in a toxic relationship before you can fix it. That's what it is. There's a lot of toxic relationships going out there, but you don't know. Another sign of a of a toxic relationship, always again, always uh physical, right? Physical altercations. This is a toxic relationship, you know. It should be no physical altercations between you and the person you love. That's not a good relationship, right? And I touched on arguments, but another thing about arguments, if you got a person that's always talking down to you, you're in a toxic relationship. It just is what it is. If they can't congratulate you, uplift you, only thing they do is tell you, you know, they don't like the way you look, they telling you you can't accomplish nothing, you know, you don't got no goals. Everything is just down in you, down in you, down in you. You're in a toxic relationship. This is signs of it. Get away from it, get out of it, right? And some relationships you can't fix, so you gotta know when to just walk away from it, right? It ain't but so much you can do. If you sit down and try to work something out with a person and it doesn't work, then it's just time to leave because you're gonna waste a lot of years of your life, then you're gonna look back and you can't get it back, and then what you know? So if you if you're showing any signs of being in a toxic relationship, if you can't fix it, keep it moving, man. You already know what it is. This is big slick.
