The article discusses toxic behaviors often mistaken for normal in relationships, as highlighted in a Reddit thread. Many users shared their insights, emphasizing that frequent fighting and poor communication can be signs of underlying issues rather than normal challenges. The importance of clear communication and managing expectations is stressed, as reliance on unspoken cues may lead to misunderstandings and resentment. The article serves as a reminder to differentiate between healthy relationship dynamics and those that are harmful.
"Fighting constantly. I think people hear 'Relationships are hard work' and assume that means it's normal to fight all of the time... Fighting often is not."
"Most of the fights my ex and I had came from a lack of communication on his part. Rather than small, consistent arguments, we'd end up with massive fights from holding onto anger for too long."
"Expecting people to pick up on subtle signals and signs instead of having open, clear, respectful communication... it's delusional to think relationships can thrive this way."
