Sometimes we go back to a relationship we know is toxic because we worry about being alone, and it is like a comfort that you know will still be there

Perhaps a lack of self esteem or a general feeling of low self worth. This negative idea that no one else would ever want you or love you so it's better to keep with this one person who said they did rather than being alone and fearing that you'd never find someone again who will love you.

It is because you still have feelings for them but you don't want them to find out so you keep it to youself.

If you tend to go back to a toxic relationship, it is a force of habit that you should break. You might have a mindset of "I know that they will change this time" and you need to stop that. If you are in a toxic relationship you must break apart for the benefit of yourself and keeping you safe from harm.

You must take care of yourself before trying to have a relationship. A lot of the times people accept the love they think they deserve, if you think you deserve anything less than than a healthy relationship, then the possiblity of you neglecting your self-being is why you return to toxic relationship. This goes for the side of the relationship that makes it toxic.

Because you love them to an extent that they dont feel toxic to you .. Please identify toxic people and push them away.

people usually go back to toxic relationships because they believe they can change the "toxic" person. Unfortunately people can't change people only life experience can.

You may feel like this relationship will somehow work itself out. But, it’s not always that way. You just have to do what’s best for you. A toxic relationship, is not.

Maybe because you are just too attached to the person. Or maybe you're just in the thought that you love him but ignoring all the other facts how much he hurt you

Because you love that person and no matter how many times they do something to you, you choose to forgive them and love them unconditionally
