Love is both beautiful and hard, and for some of us, the bad times far outnumber the good. A perpetual cycle of fighting and making up is the definition of a toxic relationship.

One person is often abusive to their partner, leaving them feeling worthless and hopeless.

Toxic relationships are more common than you might think. Thousands of couples face this dilemma, and for many, walking away from the relationship is harder than staying in it.

From a distance, you may wonder how someone could ever stay in a relationship that makes them so unhappy, but for the person at the center of the situation, they may feel like they don't have any other choice. Here are six common signs of a toxic relationship to help you determine if it's time to leave that love behind.

He's a jerk most of the time, but, sometimes he's nice to you and shows that he cares. The right man will treat you like a queen all the time, not just when it's convenient for him. If a man can treat a woman poorly, then he's not a real man.

He doesn't deserve you making excuses for him and he definitely doesn't deserve your love and devotion.

Sure, you've had a lot of heated arguments and 90% of the time you both are miserable together, but you've also shared a few happy moments. Don't let that small percentage of happy moments outweigh the bad moments.

Every relationship faces hard times, and if things are difficult now, they are only going to get harder as time goes on and then you'll be in a miserable relationship 100% of the time.

He won't. He will never change. Someone with so much evil in their heart will let it fester until the hatred touches everything and everyone around him. If he wanted to change, he would've done it the first time he saw a tear roll down your cheek. Why would he want to change when he knows you're going to sit there and take all of the abuse that he gives out. Move on now before it's too late.

Many that suffer from a toxic relationship try to keep it a secret from the rest of the world. If you aren't in an abusive relationship yourself, you most likely have friends or family members who are and you might not even know it.

That's why it's important to learn the signs of a toxic relationship so you can help not only yourself, but also the ones around you.

You may not want him, but you don't want anyone else to have him either. You've put a lot of time and effort into making him into the man he is today, even if he's not perfect. You don't want anyone else to reap the benefits of your hard work.

You may not want him to cook or clean for another woman, but it's not worth suffering the abuse at his hands just because you think you might be jealous of what he'll do for someone else.

You've been with him for so long that you're not sure what life is like without him. That fear of the unknown is keeping you from moving on but what you might not know is that you're missing out on bigger and better things. The world is full of kind, wonderful people that will have a positive impact on your life. Wasting even a second on someone you treats you poorly is too much.

He tells you all the time how worthless you are and that you're nothing without him. He's got you so programmed to thinking that you need him that staying with him has simply become a habit.

Enduring the pain from the abuse has just become a part of the routine. It's up to you to find the strength to break the cycle. You are worth so much more than you think.

Have you ever been in a toxic relationship? If so, how did you finally break free? If you found this information helpful, be sure to pass it along to others so they, too, can detect the signs of a toxic relationship.
