A good woman walks away

A strong woman knows what she is worth and what she deserves in a relationship. But more importantly, she knows what she will not entertain in her partner. This gives you the freedom to leave the second you feel disrespected. Little do people understand that you give them a long rope because you are kind, not stupid.

ASK ELLIE: Did I make the right choice by walking away from an affair with a married man?

If toxic people were an ingestible substance, they would come with a high-powered warning and secure packaging to prevent any chance of accidental contact. Sadly, families are not immune to the poisonous lashings of a toxic relationship.

Though families and relationships can feel impossibly tough at times, they were never meant to ruin. For the most part though, they will feel nurturing and life-giving to be in. Toxic people thrive on control. Everything they do is to keep people small and manageable. It is likely that toxic people learned their behaviour during their own childhood, either by being exposed to the toxic behaviour of others or by being overpraised without being taught the key quality of empathy.

They come with a critical failure to see past their own needs and wants. Toxic people have a way of choosing open, kind people with beautiful, lavish hearts because these are the ones who will be more likely to fight for the relationship and less likely to abandon. Non-toxic people who stay in a toxic relationship will never stop trying to make the relationship better, and toxic people know this. They count on it. Families are a witness to our lives — our best, our worst, our catastrophes, our frailties and flaws.

All families come with lessons that we need to learn along the way to being a decent, thriving human. Sometimes the lessons they teach are deeply painful ones that shudder against our core. Rather than being lessons on how to love and safely open up to the world, the lessons some families teach are about closing down, staying small and burying needs — but for every disempowering lesson, there is one of empowerment, strength and growth that exists with it.

In toxic families, these are around how to walk away from the ones we love, how to let go with strength and love, and how to let go of guilt and any fantasy that things could ever be different. The problem with family is that we grow up in the fold, believing that the way they do things is the way the world works. We trust them, listen to them and absorb what they say. There would have been a time for all of us that regardless of how mind-blowingly destructive the messages from our family were, we would have received them all with a beautiful, wide-eyed innocence, grabbing every detail and letting them shape who we were growing up to be.

Our survival would have once depended on believing in everything they said and did, and resisting the need to challenge or question that we might deserve better. The things we believe when we are young are powerful. They fix themselves upon us and they stay, at least until we realise one day how wrong and small-hearted those messages have been.

In any healthy relationship, love is circular — when you give love, it comes back. Healthy people welcome the support and growth of the people they love, even if it means having to change a little to accommodate.

We are all vulnerable to feeling the very normal, messy emotions that come with being human. The difference is that healthy families and relationships will work through the tough stuff. The cold truth is that if anything was going to be different it would have happened by now. What is certain is that nothing anyone else does can change them. There will be no remorse, regret or insight. What is more likely is that any broken relationship will amplify their toxic behaviour.

If you try to leave a toxic person, things might get worse before they get better — but they will always get better. Few things will ramp up feelings of insecurity or a need for control more than when someone questions familiar, old behaviour, or tries to break away from old, established patterns in a relationship.

Breaking away from a toxic relationship can feel like tearing at barbed wire with bare hands. Think of it like this. People will move to accommodate the growth and flight of each other. For a toxic family or a toxic relationship, that shape is rigid and unyielding.

There is no flexibility, no bending, and no room for growth. Everyone has a clearly defined space and for some, that space will be small and heavily boxed. You will have heard the word plenty of times before. Love never holds people back from growing. If someone loves you, it feels like love. It feels supportive and nurturing and life-giving. There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, but a healthy one is a tolerant, loving, accepting, responsive one.

Set the boundaries with grace and love and leave it to the toxic person to decide which side of that boundary they want to stand on. They are something drawn in strength and courage to let people see with great clarity where the doorway is to you.

Their choice. The choice to trample over what you need means they are choosing not to be with you. When you were young and vulnerable and dependent for survival on the adults in your life, you had no say in the conditions on which you let people close to you.

You get to say. You get to choose the terms of your relationships and the people you get close to. There is absolutely no obligation to choose people who are toxic just because they are family. If they are toxic, the simple truth is that they have not chosen you. It is always okay. This is the learning and the growth that is hidden in the toxic mess. Letting go will likely come with guilt, anger and grief for the family or person you thought you had. They might fight harder for you to stay. Keep moving forward and let every hurtful, small-hearted thing they say or do fuel your step.

You can love people, let go of them and keep the door open on your terms, for whenever they are ready to treat you with love, respect and kindness.

This is one of the hardest lessons but one of the most life-giving and courageous ones. Sometimes there are not two sides. There is only one. Toxic people will have you believing that the one truthful side is theirs.

It never was. Be bigger, stronger, braver than anything that would lessen you. Be authentic and real and give yourself whatever you need to let that be. Be her. Be him. She exerts so much control over me through fear, etc. I was a military officer until two months ago and have been deployed many times.

This is tougher. Thank you for the article. Good luck and Godspeed to everyone else on here in a similar situation. A friend shared this article with me. I was blindsided. Two against one is always a losing battle. The fight was exhausting.

I choose me. I choose peace. I just ended my relationship with this guy I was with for a year. I only weigh We broke up multiple times and tried to work things out but we were never compatible to begin with.

Not going to lie, I think I was also toxic to him as well. I started to fall out of love with him and decided to end it. Wow-very cleansing. And the final straw to make the decision to leave my lethally toxic sister and my mother behind. Two against one is draining and demoralizing. I can and will move past all of the insults, lies, ridicule and control. What will be hard to lose are the family members that refuse to acknowledge those same insults, lies, ridicule and control by both of them, directed at me.

Not until the 8th month. Everything I did began to upset him one way or the other. We had issues almost everyday!. Most times I take the blame for what he does, just to make things right. Now walking away is the only option when what I want keeps breaking me. I have left a toxic relationship for about the 5th time in two years.

My issue is that even I logically know what he is saying is not true and that I am being manipulated, I still constantly question myself and think maybe he is right, it is me and he just loves me. How do you overcome doubting yourself? Read alot about these toxic people. I miss the routine, I miss the days when he treated me well, I miss being with someone. But my self esteem has taken a hit.

When Someone You Love is Toxic – How to Let Go, Without Guilt

Know it came after so many nights where she stayed up hurting because she believed in you. And you took it for granted not appreciating her or seeing her value. But she began to lose any faith she had in you and in herself. While you considered her weak for tolerating less than she deserved and staying, it was really her strength for being able to endure it.

7 Times a Strong Woman Will Not Think Twice To Walk Away From a Relationship

But instead of being honest, instead of being vulnerable and choosing, despite all doubt, to step forward, you ran in the other direction. You tucked your feelings deep inside and turned your face away. You walked away from a woman who cared for you. You traded something genuine for something that will never light a fire in your soul. You sought affection instead of passion, and found temporary instead of permanent. She was ready to love you. She was open arms and a forgiving mind. She was tenderness in all the places that were bruised, kindness in every embrace, and touch, and sentence.

If A Strong Woman Walks Away, There Is Nothing You Can Do To Change Her Mind

Everytime a woman walks away from a relationship that's putting out her flame… she is leading. Everytime you do what's best for you, even when it's hard, even when it's painful, even when it means starting all over, you are leading. To leave, to start over, to birth a new dream, to break a pattern, to stand up, to say no more, to say I'm worth it. It is our responsibility to rise together, to show one another that it is safe to get after whatever our hearts desire. To know that even when the relationship ends, the old life dies, the business fails, the money dries up, or health declines, there will still be love showered upon us.

When A Strong Woman Walks Away, Nothing You Can Do Will Change That

She was a woman who loved you and did everything right by you. She was a woman who loved you with all of her heart and she did everything she possibly could to make you happy. She is a strong and independent woman who knows and understands her worth. She knows that she is a woman of value and she demands to be treated as such.

She loved you and did everything she could to make you happy. When a strong woman walks away, nothing you can do will change that. Her time is much better spent on someone who respects her enough to act like an adult, not like some child on the schoolyard. A woman like that can smell deceit from a mile away and knows to stay the as far away from it as she can at all cost. You only get one shot with a woman as amazing as her, so you better not mess it up.
