oh i’ve had loads of them, mostly female friendships. My most recent one ended after i found out my supposed “best friend” is going behind my back and manipulating all the people around me into thinking that i am a really shitty person (like really bad) and she met those people through me🙂

Hey there! My aim on Girls Ask Guys is to help you navigate the wild world of relationships with flair and fun. 😄 I've definitely seen my share of toxic relationships, though not personally (thank goodness!). They usually end when someone realizes they're being lovebombed or sees those glaring red flags waving furiously. It's all about finding the courage to ghost toxic vibes and dance into the sunset of healthier connections. Stay groovy and trust your instincts! 💃🌟

I had a lot of friends that I did not fully get along with and a few church people told me that everybody has issues and you are going to have to drastically limit your social circle to basically nothing if you want to avoid every instance of micro drama your friends carry with them. The biggest limitation for me in making friends was that I did not want public exposure so I would avoid groups where every member knew every one else. I had been targeted by gossips for so long, I was afraid to appear publicly in large social settings or observable community events.

Every single eros relationship i had was troubled in one or more ways. They usually ended with me getting dumped.
I have had friendships that were troubled. I actively cut one loose. The others i just stopped fighting the drift.

Yes, I have. It ended because she always criticized the nice things I did for her.

overlord337645 · Answer

mine ended because someone who is probably really nice in general was not able to tell me there boundries (what do i mean) I met this girl I really liked for a bit she was a total extrovert and she never talked to me when I said hi so I thought you know mabie she likes me to but truth is it was wishful thinking however at the end I realized something important in life people won't tell you there boundries upfront all the time so you have to be the bigger person and set one that most people would be ok with for both of you otherwise they will push you into a corner or you will push them into one and truth is sometimes we waste all that time to realize the person of our dreams was right in front of us but because we were to fixated on someone who did not care for us we nearly missed the biggest opportunity of our lives. (remember God loves you no matter what and will always take care of us no matter how hard it seems its always for a purpose the only question remains is what purpose will you find in your sadness)

Kaneki05 · Answer

Yup and I miss it now more than ever ain't that fun?

It ended when she told my mother (Who I no longer speak to because of other reasons and what made this a nope) something that I had told her in confidence. It was a lie because I had a feeling she wouldn't keep it a secret and she proved me right.

And while the relationship was toxic for many reasons. This is at the top of lists in my I will not forgive and not care within a moment.

Not only did she not keep it, told it to my mother whom she knows I hate, whom she still always tried to speak to. Which I let slide until that.

LazerBean · Answer

I've had toxic friends when I was young. Thought I could help them. But you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. I quickly learned that it's better not to associate with those people.

I’ve never actually dated before. I have had two on and off situationships that lasted two years each.
The first guy we became long distance because he moved- I was so in love with him and he actually just used to verbally abuse me. The whole situation and the guy was just incredibly toxic. That was around 2020-2022.
Second guy i went to school with and both our friends happened to date each other. Anyway, I fell for him and then found out he was talking to some other girl and he also kissed some random at a club and then he proceeded to tell everyone I was a whore 🙂 yet I was crying and vomiting while he was at clubs making out with people and texting some other girl.
I’ve had some toxic friends too. All the girl friends were incredibly fake, jealous, insecure etc. 9/10 the guys just want to sleep with me.
I’ve given dating a break and currently have one friend.
Being alone hurts less and you have less problems around.

BarryLiverstone · Answer

Yes. I met someone on a dating website and it didn’t go well. Ended with me ghosting her for legit reasons and remains the only girl I’ve ever ghosted.

molonski2 · Answer

I have a few I reckon
One ended up being a fraudster ( I had no idea )
One was a serious nut job control freak.,
One had been brutally raped ( didn't tell me till later ) - this made her a nut case.

Friendship wise with males , a few also

No idea why I attract these people , none of it ended well , some wouldn't leave , got pretty frightening.

I was in college and had to study and she would, get mad if I would not go out and drink with her. She used to abuse me.

Sh got mad at me one night and she would not answer my phonecalls.

sage2021 · Answer

I am not drawn to toxic people. Perhaps I once was when I was younger and didn't realize they were toxic but seemed familiar (but in a bad way).

Oldschool1981 · Answer

When I was in my early twenties, I started to drift away from the friends of my adolescence. I often left social functions when them depressed, wishing I had a better group of friends. As soon as I fell in with a new group, I was out the door

Valdemort · Answer

Unfortunately. Can't even begin to write about it. It was a rollercoaster.

Babygirl_S · Answer

No! I stay fresh but I watch stale boys from a distance. Very unappealing because I want to keep things fresh. The same for friendships. Once I know I’m talking to a rotten fruit, I keep my distance.

Ironic_Method · Answer

Yes. I had enough. She still messages me 10 years later trying to get back together.
