How To Leave A Toxic Relationship

  • A toxic relationship is one that is harmful. While some signs of a toxic relationship are more obvious-like physical abuse, repeated infidelity, and inappropriate sexual behavior-others can be harder to detect. It may involve disrespectful, dishonest, or controlling behavior.1
    For example, your partner cuts you down frequently. As a result, your mental health may begin to suffer.
    Whether you are single or in a relationship, leaving a potentially toxic relationship is not easy. It first takes the realization to know that you're in a toxic relationship, and then it takes accepting that the relationship is toxic. Once you have confirmed the signs of a toxic relationship, leaving takes social support, courage, and also self-validation knowing that you will find someone better.
    If you're struggling to leave a dependent or toxic relationship, do you think you will have the courage to do so?

    Don't tell them you're leaving because some people can't hold their emotions together and will kill you over it because that's often the case. Block them on everything and get help if you need it

      I disagree alot, coming from someone who's been on the side that got blocked alot of times, the uncertainty to why someone left hurts, alot. It makes all of the overthinking take over, it makes the person that got ghosted feel abandoned and lost, leaving them anxious over a million reasons why they got ghosted. And most importantly it prevents them from ever getting better, you can't fix a problem if you don't know what specifically you did 'wrong' it's a horrible feeling and I highly don't recommend ghosting anybody, be mature and tell them why so they can get better and be self aware.

      No. Incorrect move. This will make them crazier. It will break all hope they have for a better relationship, even if they don’t take it well, that’s unfortunate, but at least you told them and they know. If things get bad, okay, call the cops. But if you block them with no explanation, no nothing, just utter disappearance- it doesn’t matter if youre empathetic or not, everyone’s human- you will ruin them and they will become worse people.

    As a person who has struggled in a very toxic reationship, I can confirm the part about breaking up. For people who haven't been through it, it might even seem contraditory...which it is. It's not stockolm syndrom, but it's something of the kind, where you KNOW you've been and are being mistreated and you still come up with excuses/reasons to not break up.
    Pretty much all of it was horrible, but the part that stuck with me the most was how hard it was to break up even though I knew I wasn't happy with her.

    My first relationship was pretty toxic, but I didn't realise until after we broke up. I realised all of the things she did to me and put me through, and somehow I still ended up in another toxic relationship when I started dating again. In hindsight, I think why I didn't recognise the red flags the second time around either is because the toxicity was so different the second time, compared to the first, but there was a little overlap.
    First one ended around 7 and a half years ago, second ended coming on 3 and a half years ago. I recognise the red flags so much better now, I just wish it didn't take me going through what I was put through for me to understand, especially on top of my past beyond my bad dating history.
    It reminds me of a quote from Bojack Horseman: "“You know, it's funny; when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.”
    But, I'm happy to say that I've been in an extremely healthy romantic relationship for over 2 and a half years now. No more toxic romantic relationships for me, never again.

      @@Psych2go I feel pretty terrible I didn’t see this until two months afterwards. Thank you for the reply and the congratulations. 🥰
      To answer your question, even if I am very late, one definite difference between my current and first relationship is that I feel respected. In hindsight, didn’t feel respected. I was pressured into doing things I had very clearly expressed I did not want to do, and when I tried to address that my ex would put it back on me, always bringing up the fact that I “said yes.” I still grapple with that stuff today, nearly 8 years on. My current girlfriend definitely respects the word “No” a lot more, and she doesn’t try and make me feel guilty for not wanting to do something. Also my current girlfriend respects my wants a lot more, she doesn’t pressure me into doing things I don’t want to do/I’m not ready to do yet, unlike my ex who would pressure me into doing things because she wanted them.
      To keep a long story less long, my second ex was not communicative enough. It led to ghosting, cheating, breaking up with me via email (I sent her a love letter via email for her birthday and she replied to the love letter email by dumping me because she’d cultivated a relationship with someone else in a different country,) and when I spoke to her (I want to say I confronted her, but truth is I fawned so hard) about 6 months after the breakup when I found out about the cheating she said “I’m sorry if that upset you.” Also I feel like whenever I upset her, sometimes I feel like she overreacted a lot, I felt like I was made to feel guilty. Like even after breakup, when I said I was happy we didn’t work out, because I was in the early stages of what became my current relationship, she asked “Was I that bad a girlfriend?” Which I wasn’t saying at all. I have a lot of good to say about her too, but she was toxic and she hurt me so badly.
      Whereas my girlfriend and I talk all the time, especially about our feelings, and whenever something even minor comes up we talk about it to make sure it doesn’t grow into a larger issue like if it was ignored. That’s definitely something I couldn’t do with either of my exes.

    I’ve noticed these videos tend to focus on how toxic people take action to hurt you, not the quiet ways they can hurt you. Someone withholding affection or shunning you or ignoring you for days on end to “punish” you is still toxic. Especially when they try to claim the changes in behavior don’t exist.

    Back when I started, I could not sleep from intrusive thoughts that were all over the place (I call it Mindrattling), but once I started to not them down, everything fell into place and I was able to understand my own emotions and build up grievances.
    I have become a way more relaxed and less petty person. Still one to hold grudges, but instead of going over the same never happening confrontational scenarios in my head over and over again, I write down what I'd tell the other party and come to peace with the issues quicker than before.

    Having going through this fairly recently, i can honestly say its the hardest thing I've had to endure.
    Although you know they're toxic, theres just something that keeps you wanting them. Something beyond being able to articulate. You truly feel like they're the one, but as explained, its the ideology behind it. After the initial break up, and finding out how the manipulated and structured the whole story to seem like the victim, I stupidly gave it a ither chance after 3 months. I just couldn't seem to let go. After a month of attempting to give it our best shot, i found out about a load of lies that absolutely destroyed me. A month later, the physical symptoms have subsequently subsidised, and beginning to feel myself again. The painful part os their constant reaching out even though you have explained on multiple occasions about having no contact. I have deleted and erased everything I had that reminded me of them. I continue to journal daily, I think im currently going through the process of trying to find motivation to begin working on myself, i.e healthier eating, working out, self improvement ect. This truly feels like it has broken me and to a point where im not even sure I'll ever be the same person again. I actually was proud of who i was. I keep telling myself that i will use this as an opportunity to grow to an even better person, but this struggle has got me questioning if I'll ever be able to open up and be vulnerable again. It all sucks, i feel for everyone of you currently going through this. I wish there was an easy way, but the truth is, there isnt. We just have to acccept, deal and work on ourselves

I'm trying to use this as an opportunity to grow even more. Utilise it as a lesson, a lesson that doesn't define me, I know, as you will too deep down, that you have so much more love and compassion to give, its who you are as a person. I'm trying to learn how to focus that onto myself. We owe it to ourselves. Treat ourselves as we would our loved ones, treat ourselves with compassion, love, understanding, non judgement, and begin to ourselves shift. Learn to say no, do things for you. Become addicted to self love, priorities yourself above anyone else. Don't lose hope. Believe in yourself. You can and will do this. I promise, everything takes time, but there will be a day in which you look back, and all of a sudden, you'll realise, shit, that's why. That's why I had to go through what I had, to be the proud person of who you'll become. Be kind to yourself, it isn't easy, but treat yourself with love and care.

I just know that it's completely crap and haven't ever experienced anything like this. I guess the advice I give out is that I try and convince myself that that's how I should be looking at it. Truth is, it's shit. I can't believe the effect of such a relationship can have on someone. I can truly understand as to why some people end up being single for many many years. It's very sad, but we can't allow this to have any power over us. We need to try and remain strong and believe in ourselves. We have no other choice.

It was strange, I cut the strings since it was filled with toxic behaviour, energy draining, lacked value(I even wrote her drawing and letters, she still guilt traped me lol). The most important thing is to keep yourself busy, I didn't even bother looking back, as it was that bad and would only strengthen the neurological connection if I do. It is important to realise a toxic relationship and set boundaires, Or ur energy does drain. Love yourself, when you are ready, find a quality women who knows how to love self, and love you too(Not being toxic for who you are). All the best !

    I'm in a toxic relationship. I have crossed many lines and regret it deeply. I have a million reasons to leave as well, as I'm not the sole aggressor in the relationship. But i would be willing to do whatever it takes to mend the hurt and start fresh being what my person needs. We're going to couples' therapy but it just feels like the help isnt coming quick enough and we're gonna end before we even gain any traction in therapy.

    I'm in a toxic relationship currently and we both know it is one. It's a long distance relationship currently but we think when we are together in person things will get better because we will have more trust for eachother since we are with the other person instead of in another different state. The problem is we both don't want to leave eachother even though it is both hurting us mentally. I don't know what to do honestly. Like do I wait til we are together in person (which we will be next year) or is it time for us to breakup?? Im just stuck because he means so much to me and he been different from all my past relationships. The cons is he doesnt let me have friends as he would threaten to break up with me but I told him i dont really mind because i have trouble talking to people anyways and im homeschooled. We also argue alot but we usually make up. The pros is he cares about me when im not feeling the best and hes loyal to me since he doesnt talk to any other people. Should I leave or wait til we are together in person ?(we been together for 2 years now) If anyone read this to here, thankyou for listening to me.

This guy's bestfriends (who are also my friends btw) told me he was strange with another girl. We found out my ex bf cheated on me which explains why our relationship wasn't going well. I think karma is the best because, what he hid turned against him: he lost all his bestfriends, friends, his girl (me), and even the other girl because she blocked him when she learnd the truth. Damn, saying we were engaged... What a terrible story

      In the end, it was the only choice that was the most rational to make at the time and even though I did try to console her after a few unfortunate relationships she faced on her side in hopes she and I would find at least som semblance of what wholesome connection we had, she insisted that it was best for us to just stay friends and for a time we did until out of nowhere she had unfriend me and I suppose it at least it gave me strength in a way and with knowing through her streams that she’s happy. It put me at ease, I still wish the best for her even if she blamed all the wrong that happened in our former relationship on me, I wish she’d find happiness but these days, through her discord bios and the teasing of my friends that are still friends with her or follow her, she seems to have never ending problems in differing variety and I guess that makes me sad seeing her like that recently without being able to help her cuz I just don’t wanna assume anymore….

    My second relationship was super toxic. He encouraged me to speak my mind more, yet if I dared to say things that he could work on to make himself better as a person, he would use threats of self h*rm or unaliving himself. I left him in 2020, right before the quarantine. For about a year, he made about 5-6 accounts on Instagram in order to reach me. He would say he wants to be just friends or maybe start over, but I didn’t respond to him. He got angry at me for telling my friends about how toxic he was during the whole relationship. My friends protected me against him and called him out of his bs, to which he started to insult them. He hasn’t spoken to me since late 2021 and I feel like I’m finally free from him. He moved to another state so I feel really happy that I’ll never see him again.
