TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS 

We all want to be emotionally and physically closer to one another and this brings up the relationships that we have among each other.We go through difficulties,challenges  and have disagreements but because we value our relationships we make efforts to keep them by trying to solve our issues.But then sometimes our relationships become difficult to work and they become something that has the potential if not corrected to be extremely harmful to our well being.
In a toxic relationship there is the toxic partner and the recipient of the toxic behavior.

Here are some of the examples of  how toxic partner may behave,
If he or she is always making fun of you even when you try to express some serious ideas for example you may come up with the idea of starting up a serious project.He or she will discourage you by implying the idea is silly or stupid but they'll do it in a jokingly  way.This may make you have a low self esteem.

A partner who has a very bad temper is toxic. Sometimes when you disagree or have a different opinion from theirs they get very angry and may not speak to you for some days.Then they'll afterwards put the blame for their temper on you.

a partner who  depends too much on the other for almost everything.They are very nice as long as they get what they need from you.What makes this relationship toxic is that you will end up never doing enough for them and then they'll leave you for some one who can do more for them.

In colleges or universities  there are so many students stuck up in toxic relationships  for various reasons.The main reason is low self esteem,they believe they are unlovable and no one would willingly meet their needs,Some it is because they get financial support from their toxic partners,others it is because of peer pressure, they just want to be in relationships because their friends are and some it is because they love their toxic partners and they do not want to leave them.

In the recent past so many university students have lost their lives by being murdered in cold blood by their lovers.
A Moi university student named Ivy Wangechi was killed by her boyfriend using an axe in  broad daylight.She was a 6th year medical student.Police say Naftali Njahi Kinuthia admitted killing her due to rejection.He claimed to have invested a lot in the girl but she didn't reciprocate his kindness and financial support .(fromthestardard)

Last year two bodies of male and a female university students were found in a rental house in Makutano Meru county,the bodies were already decomposing when they were found. According to the sources a  female student from Kenya Methodist University who was in her fourth year was killed by her boyfriend who was also a student at the Chuka university,this happened when he had gone to visit her.It is believed that he committed suicide after killing her.
So many students and other people have lost their lives because of staying in toxic relationships thinking they can fix them.By all means leave your toxic partner for the sake of your well being.
