Trapped in a Toxic Relationship? - 4 Signs it Might Be Time to Let Go

Relationships require effort, commitment, and love to be successful.
With two emotionally balanced individuals who are motivated, a happy, fulfilling relationship is well within reach.
However, there are instances where the relationship has an unbalanced and damaging dynamic in place that causes harm to one or both partners.
It might feel as if no amount of effort improves things.
Certain actions and behaviors on the part of one or both partners can render a relationship a destructive and damaging thing.
Here are 4 signs it might be time to let go of the relationship: 1.
Abuse.
Any kind of abuse is damaging, whether it be physical or emotional.
Physical abuse, of course, is extremely dangerous, and if you are in this situation please contact a domestic violence shelter and get professional help to determine the best plan of action for you.
If you are being emotionally abused, be aware that the scars may not be visible, the psychological damage is significant.
Being constantly told you are inferior, incompetent, or crazy lowers self esteem and can even lead to depression.
2.
Infidelity on a serial or ongoing basis.
An affair can end up resulting in a stronger marriage if both partners recommit, and much better communication and accountability is put into place.
But repeated and serial infidelity takes on almost a compulsive nature and is a different scenario.
There is no foundation for a relationship without trust, and you may actually be risking your physical health staying in a non-monogamous relationship.
3.
Personality disorders are present.
This "hard wiring" of the personality can cause may problems in a relationship.
Disorders such as narcissism and sociopathy/psychopathy leave the individual unable to sustain emotional depth and connection with another, prevents lasting change, and contributes to harmful and destructive behaviors.
4.
Addiction is present and your partner is unwilling to accept or seek any help for the problem.
An addict who is actively using is going to be most preoccupied with getting the next fix and will not be able to prioritize the relationship.
The consequences of the addict's behavior may negatively impact you as well, in legal of financial matters (DUI's, accidents, etc).
it may be very tempting for you to lose yourself in the relationship, and constantly be on crisis management duty.
