Red Flags in a Relationship

DAY 3 OF 3

Moving On

A red flag relationship is a bad one; in fact, in some cases, it is toxic. Leaving or overcoming such a relationship may not be easy; many links are created in a toxic way and difficult to separate. Here are key tips for getting out of a toxic relationship and achieving the solution you want.

  • End self-deception.

Be open to what your loved ones may think of you. Think about how you see this person and whether it makes you feel better or weaker. Examine your anxiety before and after spending time with him, as well as any intimidation, disappointment, or hurt you may feel resulting from anything he says or does to you. (Mark 5:34)

  • Understand that you are not the only one to blame for the relationship not working.

The most crucial step in ending a toxic relationship is realizing that you are not the only one who is guilty or accountable for things going wrong, despite what your partner tells you. (Romans 12:19)

  • Know what is the antidote to the toxicity of the relationship.

If we do not adequately face the challenges that arise when relating as a couple, our relationship can become toxic. The antidote requires identifying unresolved issues that our relationship confronts us with.

  • Identify the toxic behaviors of both.

It’s highly probable that you already know what the poisonous habits in your relationship are; you choose to look at them from a clear perspective and create excuses for them. Finding new ways to relate to one another is necessary for recognizing poisonous practices. When he says things like, “She is a lovely person at heart, I’ll help her figure out how to act,” “She loves me so much that she is envious of me,” or even “She slaps me because she has endured a lot,” it’s referring to toxic behaviors that should be avoided. (Isaiah 43:18-19)

  • Say no to fear; you deserve better.

You must realize that you can live without this person. The main reason why we stay in toxic relationships for too long usually has to do with the fear of not being able to find someone better. This causes us to endure many things that we should not tolerate. For example, a man abandoned as a child by his father may allow his partner’s harmful attitudes and actions for fear that his partner will abandon him. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

The word "forever" is misleading. Change is the one thing that is constant in life. Despite our best attempts, we are actually unable to cling onto anything in life indefinitely. Everything comes and goes, including relationships, families, and friends. Realizing temporality is the nature of life and attempting to embrace it when something must come to an end is preferable to clinging to what is no longer there. Take pleasure in your happy memories, hold them close to your heart, and let them go to make room for fresh experiences.
