Is it possible for a long lasting toxic relationship to ever become healthy?

Both would have to really want it to work and really work on themselves.. and now adays people are just to selfish and I think there would always be some kinda problem's. For me it would not be worth it

When things like this happen we need to understand the reason why we all all here it's not to be in bad relationships. Or argue or fight. We are here to over come the things we all go through to learn our lesson and move on to the next one the world is not how we have been brainwashed to believe it is. We all need to start understanding this. We are all here together for the same reason

I have always said we are all on GaG for a reason. We have all stayed here this long for a reason it's now time to become and learn this

[David5668]

Not in the slightest. The best thing (albeit far too late in my life) was to completely cut ties with a toxic mother and brother.

@david 5668
Well I guess you can look at it as a positive because in a way it made you who you are today

Or negative because you didn't really get to say what you would have liked to have said that in the long run it really didn't matter that I hear you I've been there before just kind of got to let it go sometimes

[NathanDavis]

I don't really think so, no...

by definition, a toxic person is someone beyond any "repair"

there's flaws, there's areas of improvement, both personal ones and in the relationship, but if someone and something is toxic, that is a situation to escape, not to try and fix... the longer it takes for something not being able to be fixed the more clear it is that it just can't be fixed...

and even if fixed... it would become less toxic, but that's not healthy either, because it is not ideal, and it would take a long time, even more time... for the persons and the relationship to go all the way up to something wonderful

to me... it's just a waste of time, and life

[12karen]

I completely understand your perspective and agree that recognizing toxic behaviors is crucial for our well-being.

It's often healthier to prioritize our own mental and emotional health rather than invest time in trying to fix something that might never be healthy. Your insights really highlight the importance of knowing when to walk away.

[NathanDavis]

right... there's always that point in which caring and being supportive with one another, turns into the other taking too much from us and wasting it too... it can wastes us away rather than heal any situation or person involved, so...

sometimes, the healthiest choice is just to stay apart and away from toxic codependent relationships, well, I would say every single time the best is to end them

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship coach, I want to help others navigate the wild world of love! It is possible for a toxic relationship to become healthy, but it's a bumpy ride with both partners needing to commit to change. Communication and boundaries are key, but remember, some relationships are like expired milk – they just can't be salvaged and you should move on to avoid more heartache. Keep your happiness at heart, and don’t ignore those pesky red flags! 💖🚩 Stay dazzling and never settle for less than you deserve! 😉

Probably not , if it’s a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself , then you are best to throw in the towel and go your separate ways , Kind of what my ex and I ended up doing

[Desconhecida]

Anything is possible but people only change if they want – not for relationships, but for themselves.

[Anonymous]

Rarely, but I've definitely seen guys eventually get "broken" and basically just assume an abused, cuck type role in the relationship. It only works because the guy gives up on standing up for himself and just lets her do whatever she wants to him. And "with" others.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

If this long lasting relationship is "toxic", it creates a story, painful memories. These memories won't disappear, whether or not one or both parties manage to work on themselves, whether or not the relationship becomes "healthy".

Double quotes on toxic and healthy because these words are easily used and abused, at the expense of elaborated, and personal, testimonies.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Not without sincere efforts to change alongside shared growth, support, and a lot of therapy. And if they’re truly toxic, they’re going to believe that not only are they already doing that, but that they’ve mastered it

[Still-alive]

i suppose its 'possible' like in the way that most anything in life is 'possible' but not 'probable' and i would advise a person asking me in such a relationship to leave anytime

[12karen]

Completely agree 💯

[FreyaRed]

Unlikely. Toxic relationships are often glued with sex and sex at some point starts to be less important.

[sage2021]

I believe if you learn how maybe with the help from a GOOD couples therapist.
Reading self-help books 📚 really helps❣️

[Miah06]

I think it's possible, but highly doubtful.

Like one or both would have go to mature, and take a deep look at theirselves to make a change.

So that's why i find it unlikely because usually people need a big wake up call to do that

[SleepingHazard]

I doubt that.
Maybe if they separate, do the work and find each other again in a few years.
Get yourself out of the toxic environment first.

[dragoblack]

No, It never will. When it is toxic. It takes both admitting they were wrong and make effort to overcome their insecurities... but neither wants to do that

[Friendlybro79]

I think most things are possible as well as those same things could be highly unlikely

[Staximus]

If two people haven't figured out how to be good to each other after a long time, maybe they are with the wrong people.

[linka_pat307]

Yes if the two realise it and decide it to be healthy

[magiusX26]

yes, in the same way something like bubonic plague can become healthy.

[UrsulaY]

You can glue something broken back together but it will never be the same.

[Sinthia99]

I wouldn’t say it’s impossible but it doesn’t seem probable.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes if both parties are willing to put in the work but that highly unlikely

[GlowUpGirly5]

You need to see a therapist I'm sorry cause this is literally the most mentally unstable question I have ever read. Please leave stupidity in 2024

[Anonymous]

Is it possible humans will inhabit another planet?

[ProbablyClueless]

It's possible, but not likely.

[FunkyMonkee]

Not if the toxic one refuses to get help.

[RHK36]

No, that's why it's toxic.

[jahaims]

Statistically very unlikely.

[David5668]

No. And I speak from experience.

[Anonymous]

Very unlikely.

[Aphrodite2001]

Only if you like chaos.

[Hotboy_booblover]

Yes it has happened with me..

[Lynx122]

I doubt it.
