You agree to it or not, almost all of us has been in a bad relationship and haven't been able to get out of it the easy way. There's nothing right about this relationship, it's rather toxic. It drains you and annoys you beyond limits. You even talk about how everything is going in vain to all your friends. And the two of you constantly indulge in fights and arguments which has created the distance that none of you'd actually want to fill. Still, none of you are able to initiate the 'breakup talk'. And the reasons could be many. You have to figure out and know how to get out of this bad relationship because it'll only keep exhausting you and not let you grow as a person.
02/8Your self-esteem has taken a blow
"Having low self-esteem can play a role in staying in an unhealthy relationship because it can cause the person to believe no one else would want them, so they might as well stay with their current partner," says an expert. People start to believe that they're unworthy of anyone's love.
03/8You're trying to be understanding
More often than not we try to go out of our way to love people because we expect them to do the same things for us. But unfortunately, that's not how things work. Just because you're nice to someone doesn't mean the other person will be nice to you.
04/8You want to fix things
It is not your job to fix things. "You really believe that if you love your partner and if you give [them] enough chances that [they] will stop doing the toxic things that are destroying your relationship," says one expert. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Toxic people are always going to be toxic no matter what you do.
05/8You care too much
It is one thing to be a caring person and another to actually keep caring for someone who's only been hurting you throughout the relationship. It is because you feel your partner is too dependent on you. You feel that it's your responsibility to keep caring even after knowing that you're getting nothing positive out of it. But instead, you should be choosing yourself over it. You should be indulging in self care rather than giving every bit of your energy into a bad relationship.
06/8You don't have a list of potential partners
You keep on tolerating the bad treatment because you don't really have someone better to be with. Because once you know that someone else can treat you better, you start getting attracted to them and would want to get out of the bad relationship. But you really don't have for that one person to arrive in your life and keep being in the toxic relationship. If it doesn't serve you well, you have all the reasons to get out of it and give yourself some peace of mind.
07/8You're too afraid to be alone
This is a fear that many have. People would choose to stay in a bad relationship rather than staying single. They fear being alone and think that they'll end up spending their entire lifetime that way. But that's a very vague thought to keep in mind. You shouldn't be choosing to be in a bad relationship even if it kills you inside every single day. Instead, be alone, explore ways in which you can better yourself and grow as a person. Being independent is a very rewarding feeling.
08/8You're very forgiving
Being forgiving has its own advantages and disadvantages. People who have a very positive attitude towards life will always end up forgiving their partner and believe in giving chances one after the other. But you need to understand that forgiveness should never trap you into the relationship. It shouldn't make you question your thinking and why you took the decision of forgiving your partner especially when they are toxic for you and do you no good even after you forgive them.
