Why do I keep going back to my toxic relationship?

Sometimes it's hard to break what you've accepted as status quo, and sometimes you might still love your abuser or be manipulated by them into thinking it's okay for them to hurt you.

because you need to be cared, you need attention, and you need someone to affirm you, confirm you on what you do. and you want to be accepted. or at least you just want to be in a relationship. remember this, you don't have to be in a relationship, you can be alone and be okay with it. lonely people are usually the ones who have the most.

From a personal experience, you go back to a toxic relationship since it has been the typical relationship for you. You are afraid of change. Plus, the love you have for the person never really goes away entirely, confusing you for the thought that you won't find a love unlike the one you are used having. But, in reality, the world has so much to offer for a big heart like yours.

One will return to a toxic relationship when the perceived benefits of the relationship are greater than the negative aspects. In other words, it may be because even though the relationship is toxic, you feel that it is better than another alternative. It is important to realize that you are worth something! If the relationship is not good for you, then do not go back. Also, if you are afraid to leave the individual you are with, please seek help.

It is very likely that you go back to a toxic relationship due to low self esteem. You might think that you do not deserve better than that person because nobody will like you like that person does. You might think you are useful to that person and you do not want to be someone who is useless. Of course, these unconscious and impulsive thoughts are erroneous in some way. I hope you work things out with your sense of self.

Misery can be comforting. We seek to go to places we know even if they aren't the best for us. You have grown used to a toxic relationship that it feels easier to give your partner another shot than to try to love someone new.

The reason you might be going back to your toxic relationship, is that it might be too safe and predictive. You have become accustomed to your partner even though they are toxic. You may consult a listener or an expert, if you feel you need help.

Because I have no one and my family keeps on turning their backs on me so I stick to the only person I have in my life even though the relationship is very toxic😱

You find the need for a relationship or someone to "love " you and you trick yourself into thinking it is right

Because sometimes we feel alone and would rather be with someone than alone. and going back to someone who use to make you happy seems to be the answer, but does it make it right for you no, you need remember life is to short, there is bigger and brighter things out there ahead of you,
