A way you could end an unhealthy relationship is to set a time and place for you to speak your peace in a public setting. As your speaking with your partner make sure to be completely honest in speak very clearly when you are trying to express your feelings and reasonings of why you want to end the relationship. Allow him to speak his peace as well and then agree that this will be the last time you interact. In a unhealthy relationship it is best to cut off all ties completely. If you are not clear with your intentions he could get the impression that there is still a chance so it is best for both to agree that this is the end.

Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes a person can make in an unhealthy relationship is mistake the addiction of a relationship as love. It may seem better to be inside an unhealthy relationship than to be alone, and getting over that fear of being alone is the first step. It's important to remember that you have a support group of friends and family that will take care of you after you end a toxic relationship, and it's especially to surround yourself with people that have a positive affect towards you when in the process of ending things. This process also leads into the thinking of doing what's best for you. The relationship is hurting you, and the addiction to the unpredictability of the relationship or fear of being alone can stop any progress that you are currently making. That's why it is important to make a plan and perhaps even share that plan with your support group of family and friends. When you start to miss your ex-partner, you should make a promise to yourself that you will talk to your support group first before going back to contact your ex-partner. Ultimately, the decision to end the relationship is your own, and the help of a support group may be beneficial in the beginning but their pressure may not last very long. In the end, it is up to you and it's important to ask yourself "what do I want?".
