Is it worth breaking up with people if they make life worse

Unfortunately, at any point in a relationship, you may realize that your partner is making your life worse. This could be due to various reasons like toxic behavior, significant differences in views on life or habits, or unresolved psychological issues. A person who feels their life deteriorating in a relationship with their partner may try to change it for a while. But more often, this turns out to be a futile waste of time. However, with the right approach and circumstances, even from uncomfortable relationships, happy and pleasant ones can emerge if both partners are wise and reasonable.

But what to do when patience runs out? I understand that summoning the courage to simply break ties with someone who feels close and dear, despite poisoning your life, is difficult. But understand that you need to move on and take care of yourself. First and foremost, realize that ending current relationships does not mean there won’t be others in the future. You will definitely appeal to someone, and potential future relationships can be happy. Additionally, you now have experience that will help you better understand which person is right for you.

It’s also important to realize that dependence on another person is not normal. In normal relationships or in the absence of a partner, a person should feel self-sufficient, free, and comfortable. Remember, love that brings suffering is not satisfaction. Feeling inspired and happy in a relationship with your partner is a sign of true, healthy love.

Mutuality is also an important indicator. If there is no reciprocity from your partner, it’s not worth spending your time and emotional resources on it. It’s better to focus all that care on yourself or on people who truly matter to you.
