The Power Behind Tough Relationship
There is a saying that I cherish so much. This saying is, “Give a thief permission to guide your property just for safety's sake.” Most people would not believe this saying, but to me, it is something I felt would work when it comes to closeness. That person you felt is a thief would guide your properties to the best of their abilities.
Remembering this saying made me get an idea of what this prompt means. One thing is for sure: remaining in a relationship with someone harmful may have a lot of meaning. The truth is that when this happens, one can use this as a means of safety. Take, for instance, when someone is about to harm you bitterly, he or she would make a turn after seeing that person who is behind you even though he or she is harmful. So, it means a lot to remain in a relationship with a person who is harmful or toxic.
Moreover, the fear of remaining lonely after leaving that one who is harmful or toxic is a factor. Leaving him or her would cause more harm than repair. So, the best is to manage what you have until he or she changes for good. I have seen so many unhealthy relationships still kept on the move just because of who and where to run to when they break up. Staying would be their choice. In some relationships, the toxic man would pounce on the woman, and yet the woman would remain in such a relationship without breaking up. Most people may call it “love,” but I saw it as “blindness.”
The financial aspect is another thing that would keep such a relationship on the move without scumbling. When the toxic one is financially buoyant, he or she would use that medium to overtake or control the partner. The partner would begin to run in fear but would not have the mind of running away. The financial buoyancy would keep him or her glued to such unhealthy relationships. Where will she or he get the money to take care of herself or himself? This would be the blind question they may keep asking.
Furthermore, when you lack some resources, such as housing, a job, or some other resources, leaving would not be an option for you. Just because of those things, you are still managing under the influence of that one in your life who is toxic; you just have to manage him or her no matter the situation.
Let's take, for instance, a man who finds his girlfriend a worthy job more than anything else. There is every tendency that she would not run away from that relationship, even though the man is toxic. She would love to stay just to save her job, or else she would be ripped off her job.
Most unhealthy relationships are not ordinary. Some partners would go the extra mile just to see their partners obeying them even after molesting them. What I meant is that the one with a toxic heart would go for charm just to see his partner falling for whatever he or she says. Even with the mind of toxicity, the partner would remain in the relationship.
More so, the shame of becoming inferior out there or according to people out there. Shame can make people run down their lives without seeking people's help.
Finally, loyalty and dedication can be factors in staying in a relationship with a toxic partner. The question would be, “Where would I start from, and to whom will I begin my life after leaving?” So, they would stay all their lives just for loyalty’s sake. They are loyal, thinking that one day things will change for good.
So, keeping the toxic guy or girl in a relationship has more attached to it.
