Planned If life were a fairy tale, the person with whom we fall in love would not break us. Sadly, humans typically exhibit a bit more humanity than that. We fall in love, make a commitment, get hurt repeatedly, and stay. People require people, but sometimes the price is high. The breakup can be extensive in a toxic relationship.

Love is contagious. Love’s hope is also valid. The power of a relationship can sometimes be self-destructive, but it can be likened to an addiction in all relationships. You might think that it would be simple to end a relationship when it becomes unloving, hostile, stingy, or dangerous; however, it can be the hardest thing to do. Being in a bad relationship does not mean going through the usual ups and downs of a relationship. It is one that consistently takes away your happiness and accompanies you everywhere with the undeniable cries that this is not how it was intended to be. comprehending when to let go.

Emotional and physical abuse, constant criticism, lying, cheating, and emotional starvation are some of the obvious warning signs. It just doesn’t feel right when nothing particularly obvious is present. It may have done so once, but that time has passed. The signs could be feelings of loneliness, a gentle but persistent heartache, a lack of safety, intimacy, or connection, or the distance between you and your partner. Whatever it is, one of the people in the relationship still has important needs that are still unmet. The relationship is there, but it only does that, sometimes even less. It doesn’t grow and it doesn’t care for itself. Habit is what keeps it going instead of love and connection. Occasionally, circumstances make it difficult to leave. However, there are times when only you stand in your way. You might be addicted to the relationship if you show these signs: You remain despite knowing how bad it is. You stay because you want more for yourself. You are aware that this relationship will continue to satisfy important needs in you, such as intimacy, connection, friendship, love, security, and respect. But you remain. You have previously attempted to end the relationship, but the agony of being on your own always makes you want to try again. What to do if leaving feels like staying? It’s hard to end any relationship. It is not always simpler to leave a bad one behind. The way you perceive the relationship is what makes the gradual transition from powerless to empowered possible. To stay in a bad relationship often requires as much resourcefulness, energy, and strength to leave as it does to stay. You can use the resources you use to stay and to blind out the seething hopelessness of it all to move forward with a shift in mindset, experience, and expectations. Stay present. The pull to live in the past (the way it was/the way I was) or the future (it will get better; all I have to do is find the switch) can be spectacular, but the energy to move forward is completely present in the present. It’s always there, but you can’t get to it unless you’re in the moment. To accomplish this, fully immerse yourself in the relationship as it is, without having to manipulate or alter it. The only way to be okay with leaving what you have is to fully experience how broken it is. This might be scary, especially if the environment you are in is hostile or lonely. There is no perfect relationship. Every couple fights, hurts each other, and says and does bad things. That’s normal when you live together and love each other. The problem is that in order to tolerate the present – the abuse, harm, insecurity, jealousy, loneliness, and grief of the relationship as it stands – it is necessary to repeatedly live in the past or the future.
