how do you let go

[thenitty]

how do you let go of a bad relationship if it's your only relationship. why  cant i just be by myself and be ok with it ? why cant I except no relationship is better than a bad relationship

Love is like a drug. It effects our brains and we get addicted to people we love, even when they are bad for us (just like drugs.) If your relationship is bad in you just don't get along, maybe you could try couple's therapy? Or if you have already try therapy on your own and it will be hard but working with your other family and friends may help. If it is an abusive relationship there are places you can go to be safe and hotlines you can call if you need help.

Either way, breakups are just as stressful as a  death, I've read. So, you're not alone in thinking it is hard to breakup.

wellI it can be really hard becuase love can really blind you sometimes,....
its the human condition to want to be understood and accepted
as people we get atached and its only normal to fear change and the unknown.
But look closely at your relationship wityh your significant other
(realisticly) are the problems you have fixable?
You need to ask yourself this question,....
If this relationhsip lasted the rest of my days with these same problem still occuring
would I still wnat to stay with this person? If the answer is no, then you know that it can't work and you need to leave.
Also you should take some time out to think about what you want AND what is best for you.
Being lonely can be hard and sometimes painful
And some people would feel insecurities within themselves seek out a validation in others but are very often dispointed.
Its best love yourself first then the love of others should follow naturaly,....
the same concept goes for respect

Probably because most people form attachments to other people, especially when they love them, and these ties are hard to sever.
