Why do I keep going back to my toxic relationship?

sometimes it is hard to leave someone who you think is a good person and may be for a little bit but in the end you think they love you when it is just making you feel bad

If you go back to a toxic relationship it's because you feel drawn or connected to that person. You probably retain strong feelings for them and you think leaving them will be unbearable.

Try to figure out what is it that you get from that relationship on a deeper level. Maybe it is the familiarity of it, maybe you feel in a comfort zone, maybe you are scared of not being able to find someone better or you don't trust your own worth of deserving something better. Analyze your own thoughts and work on yourself.

You may be thinking that one relationship is better than none, or that your significant other - and they alone - will love you. If you really consider this relationship to be toxic, beware of those pitfalls and think whether you're doing the best for you, or not.

There are many reasons why people go back to toxic relationships. It might be something you are used to and you do not have the tools to enjoy a life without toxicity. Or it might be the drama of it. It could be a self-esteem issue. If you believe you are in a toxic relationship, it is wise to explore these feelings with a licensed therapist.

Sadly enough, some people that are given affection in a toxic matter is the only type of affection they know of. This is why people go back to toxic relationships as a comfort. Instead, they should learn to be comfortable, aware and love themselves to prevent them from doing that.

Well, the person you are in the toxic relationship with is pressuring you to get back with them. It’s hard to say no when they are threatening self harm or something similar, but you can overcome the urge with some support, you’ve got this.

Toxic relationships are often hard to leave. When you're in a toxic relationship, you often aren't even aware of it. When a partner starts acting in a way that's "toxic", we tend to ignore it because we think that it's alright, or that they won't always act like this. (Some people even blame themselves for certain actions made by their partners.) People say that they still love their partner, even if it IS a toxic relationship. It's generally hard to leave someone you love,and it's hard to break up with someone because you don't want to put any emotional stress on somebody. So, you keep going back to a toxic relationship in hopes of it getting better, and because you hold onto all the good memories, but sometimes it's better to let things go.

Going back to a relationship that you know is toxic is something that is called "the comfort zone". You go back to it because it is what you know.

Because we learn wrong ways to deal with day to day life. We go back to what is familiar to us even tho it can be harmful, like toxic relationships. To get out of a toxic relationship you need to be strong to not go back to past ways and past safe zones. We normalize aggressive behaviors and ways of reacting. To get out of a toxic relationship we first need to understand why we are still there, why we want to leave and be strong enough to keep that in mind when things get tough.
