Have you ever noticed that people fall into the same destructive relationships over and over again? It seems obvious: the person hurts you, doesn't respect you, doesn't appreciate you... But for some reason it's hard to leave.

🧠 Habit and scripts from childhood
Often we choose partners based on scripts from our childhood. If we grew up in an environment where love came through suffering, we subconsciously look for that in adulthood.

❤️ The illusion of change
“It will be different this time.” “He will change.” “I'll be able to save him.” These thoughts keep people in toxic relationships. We want to believe that things will get better.

⛓ Fear of loneliness
For many people, loneliness seems scarier than even the most complicated relationships. The fear of being alone forces us to tolerate things that are not worth tolerating.

How do you break the cycle? First of all - recognize the problem. Stop justifying the person who hurts you and ask yourself an honest question: Am I really happy in this relationship? If the answer is no, it's time to walk away. And remember that true love shouldn't hurt.
