Tips to get out of a toxic relationship

1) Ask your mutual friends to help you. A discussion with your partner in the presence of a mutual friend can be extremely beneficial in solving the problems.

2) Ask family members to intervene. Family members can significantly help you out with your toxic relationship. A discussion with them can solve the problem or at least ease up the situation.

3) Try to understand the extensiveness of how bad the situation is. Never try to break a relationship for small things. Try to contemplate the problem in as many details as you can.

4) Do not try to sort out things if you are abused. A relationship is best if ended when you are being abused by your partner verbally, physically, or sexually. Do not try to mend up things.

5) Express your feelings clearly to the person. The other person might not even be aware that his or her actions are toxic to you. Talk to that person before taking any action.

6) Write your feelings and send them to the person. This can be very helpful if you do not want to face that person. Send your feelings written on a paper to let him or her know.

7) Give time to the person after letting that person know about how you feel. Do not expect things to change overnight. A person needs a lot of time to change his or her behavior.

8) Make a decision only after a proper analysis of the situation. If that person has apologized to you and is sorry for what he or she has been doing, you need to give time to your relationship and try to sort things out.

22) Be accountable for your deeds. In a relationship, every action that you take has significance. Do not try to run away from them if something goes wrong.

35) Let the family members take part in the issue. Once they try to solve things, most of the time they successfully solve the matter. So, they can be very helpful in solving the issues with your toxic parents.

36) Do not react before understanding the situation properly. Your partner may not be in a good mood or something might be bothering him or her. Try to know the matter before you react.

37) Ask your partner what the matter is. Unless you try to ask your partner what is bothering him or her, you will never be able to solve your issues and the toxic relationship won’t be one of your dreams.

38) Set a limit to everything. If your partner is abusive and abuses you in any way, then you need not think of solving the issues but take a stand and come out of the relationship. Explain to yourself that the toxicity cannot be reduced now.

39) Convey your feelings and thoughts to your partner. Is your partner even aware that his or her behavior is affecting you? If not, then let that person know.

40) Understand that things will not change in no time. It will take a lot of time to have things in the way you want them to be. Be patient and be hopeful.

41) Before you make any decision, think if you are right in doing so. Is it too fast to make any decision? Analyze the situation in detail and make a decision after that only.

42) Be positive about everything. Unless you think positively about your relationship, nothing positive will happen to your toxic relationship. 

43) Engage yourself in the activities that always help you cheer up. This will freshen up your mind and resultantly, you will find it easier to handle your relationship better.

44) Try to communicate with the other person even when things are not right. It is only then you will get the chance to analyze the situation and understand it in more detail. Do not stop communicating with your partner.

45) Seeking help from experts is one of the best ideas. A professional counselor may talk to both of you and help make the toxic relationship a really healthy one. If you are clueless, then you can very well visit a counselor for help.

46) Do not isolate yourself from your closed ones. Talking to closed ones and discussing your problems with them can help a lot.

47) Try to be in the relationship. A relationship can be toxic due to multiple reasons. Try to find out the causes and solve it first and do not just try to get out of it due to the slightest of the issues.

48) Are you being too imposing? Ask this to yourself and find out what you would have done if you were asked to do the things. Before pointing out at your partner, try to think about your reaction.

49) Accept your mistakes gladly and try to rectify them. You are a human and you can very well make mistakes. Rather than being stubborn to not accept it, try to rectify it once your partner makes you understand it.

50) Always be firm at what you decide. Once you make a decision, stick to it. If you start deviating from your decision, you will keep doing it multiple times.

51) If your relationship is toxic, don’t be shy to call it one. It is always best to come out to others about your toxic relationship. This avoids unnecessary queries from others.

52) Try to adjust with your partner. Accept your partner with his or her true identity and try to adjust a bit to avoid toxicity in the relationship.

53) Your choice of words is very important. It can make a healthy relationship a very toxic one. So, before you say anything, think if it’s going to affect your partner in any way.

54) If you have decided to get out of the relationship, respect your decision. Once you think of mending it back after breaking it, you will suffer even more.

55) Be calm and patient while your partner tries to solve the thing. Once you convey your feelings, wait for your partner to realize his or her mistakes. Things will change slowly.

56) It is always best to focus on the present and the future. What happened in the past cannot be changed and it is best to not remember them. Rather try to get experience from them that where you or your partner went wrong.

57) Minor issues do not mean that your relationship is toxic. Every relationship goes through ups and downs and that is not when it should end. So, try to judge whether your relationship is even toxic or not.

58) Prioritise your partner and prioritize the way your partner treats you even more. Love is not everything that keeps a relationship intact. If your partner is not treating you right, you need to come out of your relationship.

59) Always try to sort out things first. Even if your relationship is a toxic one, try to solve the matter before you think of ending it. But you should keep understanding when you need to stop trying.

60) Your partner is equally trying to sort out the things. You two entered the relationship because you loved each other. So, believe in your partner and hope for the best.

61) Do not think about what is going to happen after you break up. Always remember that if you could live with the toxic relationship, you will live a happier life once you come out of it. You can do better than you think.

62) Start protesting the very moment your partner is doing something toxic. Your protest need not be shouting or fighting all the time. But be firm at your words and never fail to raise your voice.

63) Let your partner know that you cannot be manipulated. A toxic relationship starts when your partner starts manipulating you. Once you realize this, always ensure that your partner is unable to manipulate you.

64) Always make your own decisions. Do not allow anyone to make decisions on your behalf. Remember that it is you who needs to be in a relationship with your partner and not anyone else.

65) Let your partner know that everything has a limit except love. Your partner can love you as much as he or she wants but everything else has a limit. Your partner should understand the true meaning of space and make sure you are able to explain this to your partner.

66) If you think your privacy is harmed, let your partner know. Just because you two love each other doesn’t mean that there is no room for privacy. If your partner does not understand this, take a stern step in explaining it to him or her.

67) Understand what is best for you. If you think that you cannot solve the problems anymore and ending the relationship is the best, then listen to what your hearts suggest to you.

68) Try to accept your flaws in the relationship. Your relationship can be toxic because of your flaws and if your partner tells them to you, do not argue but question yourself.

69) Always be compassionate to the other person. The nature and behavior of a person cannot change immediately. So, understand the situation the person is in once you have pointed out the mistakes.

70) Try to repair and not break. Do not let your relationship break without even trying. A toxic relationship is best when it ends but try to change the toxic relationship into a healthy one.
