Toxic relationships

A common mistake that every woman makes out there is to believe in words easily. Why? Because we were made that way or do we choose to avoid the extra bit of drama that can affect our mental health? For centuries, women have been regarded as inferior to men in many religions but the world has proven it otherwise. In every relationship, mostly toxic ones, we are asked as to why we’re still putting up with his behavior. And as always the most common answer is because I love him. That is a lie.

A lot of women fail to let go of a toxic relationship because they’re in love or because they need their partner. Most of them think these men will change in some time. If changes were to take place, it would have already happened. But it does not happen overnight. Year old relationships are ending in seconds because of misunderstandings or differences in opinions. Women need to understand the most important note, you may be in love but you will still survive after he’s gone. You may be hurting, barely able to sleep or eat, miss having him around and all the memories you’ve had. But deep down, everything that happened was for a reason. After so long, you see yourself evolving when you finally realize it’s time to let go.

A majority of men think of women as weak. They are the ones who sweet talk their way back after they have done something wrong because they know they will be forgiven easily. This is where women become inferior, because of love. Most of them try to work things out for their children and forgive easily without realizing it also affects their child’s mental health. A toxic relationship has many effects on their upbringing.

If a woman has the capability to love and put the differences aside and accept the many changes that take place in her life then why do men fail in this area? Why is it that men think it’s a woman’s job to keep the relationship stable and to do what is being told to them. A very intrigued dispute in every Indian household is that the man will control a woman’s everyday life because they are married and bonded together. Failing to realise that a piece of paper or religious actions of marriage does not give someone the authority to decide for one’s life.
