How do I leave a toxic relationship?

The first step is realizing that you are in one and that your happiness and peace of mind comes first. Seek help if you have to but you really need to confront that person and talk to him/her.

You start by gaining some distance from your partner/relationship and seeking out healthy friendships you have.

Be strong and trust that you're making the right decision because you are. Tell yourself that YOU are in control and you don't let anyone make your choices for you.

Leaving a toxic relationship is a huge and a very relieving step in your life,you stand up and make yourself heard don't be overshadowed by all the strings attached,you're strong and i love you and you can do it!

Okay. It is never easy to end a relationship, but first of all you have to be aware of how you're feeling. Do you feel happy? If the answer is no, you already know what you have to do. I know that he/she/them has changed and that you miss the good first honeymoon days while believing that they could come back any minute now, but you are the only person you'll have to always deal with even in your grave, so the minute you do something that doesn't give you happiness or satisfaction at any point you have to put yourself first and leave it. If possible, try to talk the situation with your partner because they not be even aware of what they're doing, and declare that you are leaving and never coming back. Then, walk straight forward and don't ever look back. Have a few days of disconnection, cut every contact you could have with that person.

To get out of a toxic relationship you need to be harsh with yourself. Admit that it's damaging you. You need to put yourself first. And remind yourself that it's for the good of your own future and the safety of yourself and others around you.

Its important to remember, in a relationship YOU matter equally. First step to leave a toxic relationship is to recognize it first. Second step is to stand up for yourself and your happiness.

Just quit and never look back. It's great that you are aware it is a toxic relationship and if you want out, go on. Quit it. Save yourself and you'll thank yourself later.

If you are aware you are in a toxic relationship you have already taken step one to leave it. Think about what you deserve, think if this person is bringing more harm than good, and make a decision, talk to this person and end things, don't go back or give this person a chance to hurt you again.

Make a checklist. Is it safe for me to leave? (Then, when or how can it be safe?) Will s/he allow me to leave? (If not, can I convince them? Is there a better time to?) On a scale of 1 to 10 how is my wellbeing? It helps to show yourself tangible information that you have to leave. Also, know if it's safe for you to leave. Make a strategy and please call domestic violence or relationship hotlines for help. Or, if you know anyone who is absolutely trustworthy, discuss a plan with them. Take care.
