How to deal with the toxic relationship?

Sanjeev · Oct 25, 2025

Everyone in his/her life faces a toxic relationship at some point in life. It's not easy to get rid of a toxic friend/partner. It's hard to leave him/her or to live with him/her. What to do when you are in such a relationship? I have never been in such a relationship, but I have seen people who can't deal with it and go into depression due to stressed relations.

For me, self-love means being brave enough to walk away from anything that doesn't serve me. Whether it's a friendship, romantic relationship, or even a toxic dynamic, I prioritize my own peace and well-being. I've learned to listen to my gut and trust my instincts. If something feels off, I don't hesitate to take a step back and focus on myself. My happiness is my responsibility, and I'm committed to protecting it.

@Kennysplash I agree but sometimes taking a step backward in a relationship/friendship is not easy to do. You are so attached with the person emotionally that you may not able able to do it and have to tolerate the toxic behaviour of the person.

I know there are some people that find themselves in this kind of situations, and I really feel for them. If they find it hard to walk away that means they are okay with the toxicity they receive. It will never go away or get better, unless they leave.

I was in a very toxic relationship with my ex girlfriend for two years eventuality one day I had to call my mother and she got my brother to pick me up and take me to hers for a while.

That part of my life is over with thank goodness as I have got a partner now that I've been with for over nine years.

It's part and parcel of life because we do have relationship with our colleagues too and we can expect them to be toxic in almost every expect so we need to be careful about it

Toxic relationships and I are like parallel lines. There are some indications that show me that a relationship is getting toxic, and so I pack my bags and leave before it fully manifests. One should never stay in a toxic relationship hoping things will change.

Sanjeev · Oct 30, 2025

@Teegold because that hope we have from our partner becomes the reason for our getting into depression. We keep hoping that things will get well, and our self-respect gets shattered every time. So it's better to break such a relationship when we feel it's becoming toxic.

It's not rocket science to observe or figure out that you are in a toxic relationship and it's better to find this as soon as you can and find a way

Sanjeev · Oct 31, 2025

@Ginger No, sometimes it takes time to find out that you're living in a toxic relationship. Sometimes your partner behaves like he/she is with you, but he/she is not, and when you find it out, it becomes late, and it becomes tough for you to get out of this relationship.

I know it's not easy for everyone but I think it's not really hard to find and some people are really good at finding and can find it quickly without wasting much time

This is a very tough topic . I’ve been there before, and it really drains your energy. The first step for me was accepting that love should not be by force. If someone is always making you feel little, please walk away. I used to think I could “fix” people, but I learned my lesson. Peace of mind is way better than drama. Talk to someone you trust, block the person if you need to. No shame in protecting your sanity. Life is too short for toxic love.

The hardest part is realizing the relationship is toxic in the first place. Once you do, it’s about setting firm boundaries and protecting your peace. Don’t try to fix someone who isn’t willing to change. Sometimes walking away is the healthiest decision, even if it hurts at first.

I agree with it but most of the time it is not easy to move away when you have given lots of emotions in the relationship. But if you want to save yourself, it's essential to do so by any means. I have never been in a toxic relationship, but I see people suffering badly due to it.

Everyone has their own way of dealing with the toxic relationship. And like everything else where a humane involvement is there, there is not a single right answer or solution for any problem. It would be your choice to see what you can do seeing all the other situations in your life. And also to see what's in your capacity to do. Walking away is easier said than done. And the decision also comes from the kind of perception about the toxicity and also about the kind of mental strength and tolerance you have.

Personally i think the best way to deal with a toxic relationship would be to let go. There is no need struggling to stay in one.

Yes, that's the best way to deal with it, but it's hard to do that in most cases. Even one needs to learn how to let go out of that relationship. A toxic relationship is always a curse for anyone.

It's better late than never. It is better to quit once discovered even if a lot has been committed to the relationship. The final outcome may be too costly if you continue to put up with it.
