Is it possible to tell if you are trapped inside a toxic relationship? Let us see:
Your partner puts you down (verbally) in front of others. While your partner says they love you, their actions don't back it up. Your partner is controlling, reading your mail or showing up at places you are just to check up on you Your partner tries to make you dependent on them. You have changed things about yourself to please them.
Toxic people make you feel ill just being around them. So, why would anyone end up in a toxic relationship? Why would anyone want to be with someone who makes them feel emotionally or physically harmed?
Well, there is usually a cycle associated with a toxic relationship. 1st it is the honeymoon. Next is the blow up. Finally, it is the reconciliation. And then, it is back to the honeymoon again.
When you just meet someone new, it is obviously the honeymoon period. It is only after a period of time do you realize that you are already trapped in a toxic relationship. Once you reach that stage, you will find it tough to get out.
You might wonder why many people gravitate towards a toxic relationship. Well, one reason is because they grew up in toxic homes. What they are doing is simply following the pattern of their childhood without even realizing they are doing so. They are simply acting out of habit. Some of them think they are not meant to be happy. While others just enjoy taking care of others.
In order to get out of a toxic relationship, the first step you need to do is to be aware of the fact that you do have choices. A lot of times, people choose to stay in toxic relationships because of their low self esteem. Very often, they suffer from depression too.
Once you realize that you have choices, the next step is to start standing up for yourself. In most toxic relationships, the toxic partner has taught you that it is all your fault. Once you buy into this, it can be very difficult to either walk away from the relationship or set new limits that can heal the relationship.
For some people, working in therapy groups can help them either get out of or redefine these horrible relationships.
The good news is that some people are able to break the cycles of toxic relationships. Some of them leave the relationship and form new, healthier bonds.
But others succeeded in mending the relationship and stay in it.
The truth is that most relationships are able to be salvaged. Sometimes it takes a little space. Other times, it takes counseling. But if both partners make an attempt, it is possible to renew the bonds in a healthy way.
The 1st thing you have to decide is that your relationship must improve or you will not hesitate to move on. If you are not willing to move on and walk away, it will be very hard for you to heal what divides you.
Once you manage to free yourself from that dependency, which is the core of that toxic relationship, you can then begin to assert yourself. Do not try nagging. Instead, just say, I need your honest opinion", "I need your love" or "I need your support".
If you don't get what you need, the other person should know that you're prepared to walk.
A healthy relationship is a two way street. In a toxic relationship, the street is only going one way. You have the power to change that, but you must take the power into your own hands. - 15437
