One day we got in a big argument and he broke up with me. I actually felt relieved and ecstatic about it. I thought finally this is my way out. I had been thinking of breaking up with him, but never could think of the right time to go. I knew what he was doing to me was emotional abuse. Once we broke up, my life started to get better. I started focusing on me and doing the things that made me happy. I began a healthy lifestyle transformation, which has me feeling strong and empowered. My school grades also improved from the previous semester. My stress levels went completely down and I felt liberated. I finally had the peace of mind that I desired and felt a confidence I've never experienced in my life.
After the breakup, my ex tried to use reverse psychology by telling me, "If you were in love me like you said you were, you would not be able to walk away so easily." Of course that did not work for me because I loved myself more than I loved him and my mental health was more important than a relationship.
Here are some signs that you are in a toxic relationship:
- constant arguing
- feeling manipulated
- not feeling like yourself
- your partner always acts as the victim
- your partner tries to guilt you into doing things
- constant hostility
- overstepping boundaries
