...lol. oddly enough..lol. I'm all out of questions right now...
...

They may believe it's better than to be alone...
They may think they are in love...
They may think that the person they're in with will change...

Various reasons.

The most "toxic" of relationships that I was ever in was also the longest relationship I've ever been in, and the truth is that it was basically the same as an addiction. Ultimate highs and ultimate lows. Great sex, great chemistry, and absolute chaos.

If we'd stayed at it another year at least one of us would have probably died. Seriously.

But at the same time... it was beautiful. I mean, I come from an area that looks like it just got firebombed, and somewhere in the decrepit foundation of my hometown, in between the alley ways and under the overpasses, it worked.

It worked until it didn't, and I don't regret a thing.

How did saving abel put it? "I'm not in love but the sex is good."

Relationship are always toxic... With different tastes though

Sometimes I dream that maybe once he is a good guy...but then after I have fully exposed myself I get him...fully exposed...I don't think I am drawn to toxic...but it is where I always land...

Mini sorry for you

How true, how true. Some overstay for the sake of kids. That was my first marriage. Some because they don't want to believe it's over. That was my second. If you become numb enough, the pain doesn't hurt as much, even if it kills your soul.

There hopefully is a point at which you realize you're dying inside, and you must get out if you're going to survive. Alas, some don't and end up front page news.

Thanks Bunny. I hope I didn't paint myself as a saint. My hands were not wholly clean... I have my faults and I will fully shoulder my part of the blame.

But when a relationship is over, for whatever reason, we must move on.

Mini i have a simple philosophy... You can only clap with two hands and if you feel that your relationship is having problems means you both are responsible for it because its your relationship.... Not only yours or not only hers

Totally agree.

Now, onto the next toxic encounter!

The most dangerous time for a woman is the 12 - 18 months after she leaves a toxic relationship. That and pregnancy.

It's funny...tried every scenario with men...short , tall, rich,.poor..ect...I guess it really falls on me...I must be the bad guy in my own hearts desire...always the same ending...they are all different...I am the only thing that remains the same in all my relationships..maybe I'm just poison.....

but its not always the guy. some women are just as bad

And just who here are denying that???

the eye opening revelation....I am attracted to narcissists...lol....not that it's a good thing but I don't think I'm so bad now...I just have extremely bad taste....lol...

If a person's SO, was putting ant bait into his morning yogurt,
would that constitutee a toxic relationship?
Or would that just be spite?
