“If the relationship were only exclusively abusive, and it were that way from the start, there is no doubt in my mind that no one would tolerate that sort of behaviour.” This is a quote stated by Mariana Bockarova, Ph.D., who teaches relationship psychology at the University of Toronto. Well, there is no denying to the fact that everything has a limit and when it is about toxic relationship, then, there is no point continuing with such kind of behaviour. In case you are one amongst those couples who got stuck in such relationship, then here are a few tips to get out of it.
1. Talk it out
It is very important in a toxic relationship to express your emotions and feelings and talk everything out. You can have an open conversation with your closest pal, family member, or significant other. And then you can put forth things in front of your partner. Moreover, keep this thing in mind that you start your conversation not with pointing the other person like, “You make me feel…” but with phrase like “I feel very sad or angry when I hear you say…” And if your partner is short tempered, then you can do so by penning down a note.
2. Surround yourself with positivity and positive friends
You can take support and help from the positive friends who aren’t enmeshed in their fair share of toxic relationships. It is very important to choose who you must hang out with for if you are hanging out with those friends who themselves are in toxic relationship then there is no point.
3. Realise that you deserve better
In a toxic relationship, it is very important that you realise that you deserve better. You are not in a relationship only to get mentally harassed or depressed. If you try to mend it, you are trying to work into a broken car. The things will neer be the same again and you have to know it.
4. Make a decision
It is high time that you make a decision and decide on to whether your relationship is worth the fight or not. You can recall the reaction of your partner when you expressed your feelings. If he/she was defensive and if he/she was blaming you instead, then you must better yourself and get out of such kind of relationship then and there.
5. And when you decide, stick with it!
Well, now this is very important that when you decide on to anything, stick to it. In some of your cases, there is no doubt that you will miss your partner but no ways that you should look back. When you decided stick to it.
