1. Talk about boundaries - A toxic partner is someone who makes you feel abandoned, misunderstood, devalued or attacked. On the most basic level, someone who makes you feel worse rather than better over time can become toxic. If your relationship becomes toxic, you must sit down with your spouse and have a hard conversation about your boundaries, which they are not permitted to breach and have been crossing or the vital traits that have been missing in the relationship.
