  • Not taking responsibility for the impact of his behavior.
  • Cultural differences.
  • Understanding which behaviors are toxic.
  • Adjusted her life to fit into his life and routine.
  • Feeling exhausted and started to implement boundaries.
  • Relationship began to change after boundaries were being set.
  • Everything had to be his way and he stopped being loving and kind.
