Signs Your Partner Is Toxic Texting You
We've all been there. That person who just won't stop texting no matter how many times you tell them you're not interested. Maybe they started out as a nice, normal texter and then turned into a digital stalker.
Or maybe they were always kind of clingy blowing up your phone nonstop and now their behavior is crossing the line into toxic territory. If you're not sure whether your partner’s texting is crossing the line, keep reading.
Texting in a relationship can turn toxic when one or both partners have ulterior motives. Whether it stems from insecurities, the need to seek control, or they are betraying the connection, their text messages can give you clues about what is really on their mind.
Keep in mind text messages can be distorted and misunderstood very easily. The reason is that they can be quickly taken out of context, is a lack of facial expression and body language, and you cannot hear their tone of voice. All these facts account for 93% of communication alone, where words are only 7%.
Here are signs your text interactions have turned toxic. And if you find that you're in a toxic texting relationship, don't worry - there are ways to deal with it!

More than likely if you are sending or receiving these text messages, it’s a clear sign your relationship could use some major attention. One or both partners’ needs aren’t being met and have resorted to trying to control the other partner through manipulative tactics out of unresolved pain or fears.
If you feel uncomfortable with how your partner texts and communicates with you digitally, it will be best to talk to them openly and honestly in person and tell them exactly how you feel. It may be just a misunderstanding from your end and talking can clear things up to restore the peace in the relationship.
