Many factors can indicate that your relationship is on the verge of ending, but they aren't guaranteed since even some of the most severe issues can be addressed with help.

Toxic relationships will damage your self-esteem, and you might be exposed to manipulation tactics like guilt-tripping and gaslighting, where you will always seem to be wrong or at fault for something happening.
You might also notice that you get "one-upped" by your partner, have your thoughts and feelings marginalized, and feel that you can't or shouldn't communicate your needs to your partner in fear of being ridiculed and ignored.
Others might be insulted by their partner's words. For example, if someone's weight is made fun of, they can become extremely self-conscious, or worse, develop eating disorders.
The relationship can also seem one-sided, and that you put more effort into that your partner, who might not show any compassion and love. Relationships should always be a two-way street and a collaborative effort.

If you struggle with these feelings and emotions, you are encouraged to find a therapist who can help sort them out for you.
