{It’s better to remain single than be in a toxic relationship because being in a toxic relationship can affect your health adversely.}

Below are 7 health dangers of being in a toxic relationship

{{1. You gain weight }}

Being in a toxic relationship leads to lower levels of relationship satisfaction which can lead to passive-aggressive eating behaviours and sleep problems, thereby leading to weight gain.

{{2. Increased stress levels }}

Being in a toxic relationship leads to lots of disputes with your partner over money, household chores etc thereby increasing your stress levels.

{{3. Affects your sleep }}

Being in a toxic relationship has been linked with poorer sleep and not sleeping well also increases the relationship problems thereby causing more problems.

{{4. Anxiety }}

Having problems in your relationship can actually lead to anxiety.

{{5. Depression }}

Being in a toxic relationship can increase the risk of clinical depression. According to a research, women are six times more likely to be clinically depressed if their marriages were falling apart or their husbands cheated.

{{6. Increased blood pressure }}

Being in an unhappy relationship can have a negative impact on your blood pressure. According to a 2008 Brigham Young University study, people who are unhappily married tend to have higher blood pressure than singles.

{{7. Heartache }}

The dangers of being in a toxic relationship might have a negative effect on you even after you leave that relationship. According to a 2011 Columbia University study, thinking about an ex can have similar effects on the brain as physical pain.

That’s not all. A painful breakup can lead to a condition known as broken heart syndrome which is a temporary enlargement of the heart. Broken heart syndrome has symptoms mimicking a heart attack.

It’s important you choose your partner wisely.
