A netizen shared how she is in a toxic relationship but is unable to get out of it because every time she tries to leave, she finds herself going back to her boyfriend.
Here is the story:
“How do you get out of a toxic relationship? I feel so tired and exhausted…
it’s been more than a year of roller-coaster ups and downs, and every time I try to walk away, he pulls me back deeper into his web.
When I’m around, he doesn’t want me, but when I’m not, he wants me back.
Even after so long and despite everything, I still love him… but I’m really so tired, I don’t think I can hold out any longer.
Deep down I know there’s nothing left for me to stay for, that if he truly loved me he wouldn’t keep choosing to hurt me over and over, over the same thing; that this hot and cold, back and forth, borders on emotional torture.
But how do I get out for real this time? Ignoring him, blocking him is of no use… he knows where I live and he’ll either come to wait here or constantly send things over.
I don’t understand why he comes running right back every time I try to move on, and why I always end up caving just because he’s so persistent.
Can someone please tell me how I can be stronger, how I can move on? I’m such a mess mentally and emotionally, and I really want to stop feeling this way.”
Editor’s notes: Maybe you need to love yourself first.
