How do you know if your relationship unhealthy?

Cupid’s Pulse:

If you think your relationship is unhealthy, it’s  probably true.  Though all couples fight sometimes, if your relationship has become toxic, it’s time to move on:

1. Unhappiness: If you’re unhappy with your partner, chances are the feeling is mutual.  Don’t try to tough it out.

2. Fighting words: An unhealthy couple doesn’t always mean fighting all the time.  Snide passive aggressive comments can be even more hurtful than a full-out fight.

3. Abuse: At the first signs of physical or emotional abuse, get out of the relationship immediately.
