Aug 27, 2018
Friends are something you should cherish, but not if they're trying to decimate your romantic union. Here are some clues that they may be trying to.
Relationships are wonderful to have, but you have to watch out for your friends. There are such things as toxic friends who aim to destroy relationships for a variety of reasons. Some folks destroy relationships because they compete with yours. Other people will try to hurt your relationship just because they don't have one themselves. The following are some clues that your buddies might be trying to kill your love life.
1. They Flirt With Your Partner
There's nothing quite as slimy as a friend who will flirt with someone that you love. Yet, a toxic friend will do that in a heartbeat. If they can get your mate to cheat on you, they can break you up, or they can perhaps have your mate for themselves.

2. They Overanalyze Your Arguments
A destructive friend will always be ready to analyze every argument that you have with your mate. They will always have two cents to offer, and those two cents usually will advise you to leave your mate. They'll turn every single thing he or she says into something horrid.
3. They Keep Bringing Up Your Past Relationships
Toxic friends may tend to bring up your past relationships. They may do it to remind you of someone that you may still care about. They may do it to compare it to your current relationship. Whatever reason they do it, it will most likely interfere with your current relationship in some way.
4. They Put Your Partner Down
Toxic friends will always put your partner down. He or she will always be "not good enough for you" for some reason or another. There will always be something that they just don't like about him or her for you, but most of the time, they won't even be able to put their finger on it.
5. They Gossip About Your Relationship
Toxic friends are big gossipers, and your relationship will become the subject of the gossip. If you find that your friends are talking about your relationship more than you do, you might need to put them in check.
6. They're Disrespectful
Toxic friends will be disrespectful to your mate. They may say mean things to him or her openly. They may verbally backstab your mate. They may do other disrespectful things. Whatever it is it will be so obvious that neither you nor your mate will be able to ignore it.
7. They Always Try To Take You Away
Toxic friends are very competitive. Therefore, they'll always try to compete with the special time that you have set for you and your partner to spend together. They'll always come up with some party or some other event that they will try to get you to go to just to take you away from your partner.
8. They're Always In Your Relationship
They will always be meddling in your relationship no matter what's it about. They will most likely have negative things to say and try to deter you from whatever it is you're trying to do with your partner. Their behavior can be a drag, and it's a sure sign of friends that don't have good intentions.
