Can a toxic relationship be fixed or is it better to break up? (Page 2)

[Still-alive]

If i sense it will likely not get any better or she refuses to listen and improve then yeah im outta there. Id rather be single that deal with that.

[lilBigPotato]

It depends on how it got there but generally I think it's better to move on

[lightbulb27]

Yes.

The choice is whom wants to change... or both... or neither. Not easy.

In some cases, I'd say, too hard, learn, do better next time.

I'm afraid is DOOMED, as the TOXICITY is BUILD, and keeps building over time, and gives the Toxic person the feeling of Grudge, Finger pointing, Blaming more over the Other person..🤷‍♂️

[bowenw]

If you're referring to being in a relationship with someone that is disrespectful, dishonest, meanspirited, or controlling, it's probably best to break up. In my experience people like that don't change.

[maroon_eyez]

Toxic relationships always get worse..


Couples having some issues can be fixed, but if it reached a stage where you consider it as toxic, it’s already too advanced..

[Anonymous]

I mean if it can be fixed, it would have to be with the aid of an external source like a therapist because how can it be done internally

[MrOracle]

That's what counseling is for - but it requires both people to not just go, but to take it seriously. It will take some real work by both people.

[Flatmanlewis]

Really depends on what you’re defining as toxic behavior. Toxic can run anywhere from being slightly rude to physical violence.

[summiter]

If both want to make it work out it can be saved but some counseling might also help. Do you think more or less sex would help?

[XXTruthfulOgrexx]

Personally, No, if a person is toxic then it just isn't worth the time and effort to try and "fix" a relationship.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

It can be fixed but it's a waste of time and energy. Why be in a toxic relationship in the first place though?

[MikeTheBartender]

If it's been less than a year no kids... It's much easier to start a new relationship than fix a broken one.

[Charliefretz329]

It’s usually toxic based on many factors.


The basis of a good relationship is rooted in respect for each other.


So I suggest absolutely not. The other person might chance temporarily but you know their true nature

[strateguy632]

certainly can fix they should try couple counseling.

[hismave]

I think if the 2 put heads together it can be fixed. Nothing is impossible u know

[legalboxers]

nope. its like spoiled milk. can't do anything with it

[Evananswersquestions]

Always better for both people to break up and find someone whom they match better with

[LexiHunnyP93]

@Lisia it depends on how bad it is. if it was me I would air on the side of caution and break up and look for a relationship that isn't toxic

[AydenHazor]

While they can sometimes be fixed, it is truly rare, it is truly toxic your better off ending the relationship
