How to deal with the toxic relationship?

[Sanjeev]

Everyone in his/her life faces a toxic relationship at some point in life. It's not easy to get rid of a toxic friend/partner. It's hard to leave him/her or to live with him/her. What to do when you are in such a relationship? I have never been in such a relationship, but I have seen people who can't deal with it and go into depression due to stressed relations.

For me, self-love means being brave enough to walk away from anything that doesn't serve me. Whether it's a friendship, romantic relationship, or even a toxic dynamic, I prioritize my own peace and well-being. I've learned to listen to my gut and trust my instincts. If something feels off, I don't hesitate to take a step back and focus on myself. My happiness is my responsibility, and I'm committed to protecting it.

@Kennysplash I agree but sometimes taking a step backward in a relationship/friendship is not easy to do. You are so attached with the person emotionally that you may not able able to do it and have to tolerate the toxic behaviour of the person.

I know there are some people that find themselves in this kind of situations, and I really feel for them. If they find it hard to walk away that means they are okay with the toxicity they receive. It will never go away or get better, unless they leave.

I was in a very toxic relationship with my ex girlfriend for two years eventuality one day I had to call my mother and she got my brother to pick me up and take me to hers for a while.

That part of my life is over with thank goodness as I have got a partner now that I've been with for over nine years.

It's part and parcel of life because we do have relationship with our colleagues too and we can expect them to be toxic in almost every expect so we need to be careful about it

Toxic relationships and I are like parallel lines. There are some indications that show me that a relationship is getting toxic, and so I pack my bags and leave before it fully manifests. One should never stay in a toxic relationship hoping things will change.

@Teegold because that hope we have from our partner becomes the reason for our getting into depression. We keep hoping that things will get well, and our self-respect gets shattered every time. So it's better to break such a relationship when we feel it's becoming toxic.
