Often relationships seem to start out just fine but over time develop toxic patterns that negatively affect the quality of life for both people involved.

The process of growth in any relationship, especially our love life, is two-sided. Having said that, this process of growth must be initiated somewhere and with someone. Make sure it begins with you.
