Saying Goodbye to a Toxic Relationship…

The person you love should bring out the best in you, and not the worst. In a toxic relationship, both people suffer. When is it the time to let go of something your heart no longer wants to abide by? Someone has to be the bigger person to end things, instead of going into a battlefield for something not worth fighting for. 

We all have our demons, but we need to find someone that will subside them and not bring them out. This world is already full of negative energy, that it is crucial to surround yourself with peace and people who will help you be successful.

A toxic relationship is a relationship full of insecurities that turned into a burden over time. Being in this type of relationship is draining. You don't recognize yourself anymore because being with this person has turned you into something you do not like. You feel suffocated in the relationship because your voice is not being heard and respected. 

They will make you cry more than anyone and you will feel like your wasting life away. You will find yourself choking up in tears and trying to console yourself because they don't say anything. You don't get any apologies from the other person and it causes you to go to a dark place in your mind. 

Many don't do this until they are caught in a destructive pattern. Ending a relationship of this type could be one of the hardest things you will ever do because you get so used to the maltreatment. 

Making a decision to leave a toxic relationship is the best decision that will save you from spiraling down further a dark hole. It is time to move onto something different that can change your life for the better.  

A dysfunctional relationship is not worth saving anymore when the signs tell you it is over. You no longer look at them as the love of your life and no longer seek advice from them. You're afraid of being rejected by them. Anything you say is being misconstrued. You no longer need them because you look forward to their departure and seeking time to be on your own. This is when this person has become a toxic person in your life. 

Many times it feels like things are fine one second, but the next minute it turns into a situation that's unbearable. Some people stay in these dysfunctional relationships for those few moments of happiness, that become less and less frequent as time goes on.

Someone has to leave. You want to stay and save it. You keep wishing things will eventually change. In the midst of things, you don't realize how much power you have given this person over you. You have given this person immense power over your emotions and happiness. The communication between the two is nonexistent. In this relationship, both people are spewing their point of views, but neither is listening. Everybody thinks they are right, and nothing gets done. 

When you find yourself alone, this is the time that you realize that this person is suffocating you. This relationship brings you down and can cause anxiety. This person knows how to hurt you the most. There is no more love left, but the feelings of despair and hate.

Then you begin to realize that you may love this person, but they are not what you thought they were going to be or contribute to your life. This causes deep sadness, knowing that the person you loved, is not the one. Blame and guilt on what could have been done start to linger. 

Time does it all, it can heal, but it also reveals answers. You realize that some things do not get better and it is time to say farewell. 

For your own sake, peace, and sanity, it is time to break away from toxic people in your life. Time is not coming back and you have to start living life with true positive intentions. It is time to realize that someone needs to make that move and decide when enough is enough.
