Unhealthy Relationships (Self Help) Part 2 of 3

Most unhealthy relationships become toxic in matter of time, especially when we do not work on ourselves continuously. Like, seriously are you needy? Are you that person that always need to be the center of attention? Are you demanding and insist that things always go your way? Are you manipulative and always play the victim? Do you attract drama or find yourself always in the middle of drama? Are you a Debbie downer that loves to rain on people’s parades? Or maybe, you might be envious of other people’s relationships or victories in life? Do you find yourself lying compulsively when you do not have to? Do you find yourself cheating habitually? Are you bad with balancing a budget and always overspending unnecessarily?

These are all negative attributes that you must deal with before you can benefit from a healthy relationship. You must figure out the reasons why you have these negative feelings and emotions towards others and yourself because this behavior is toxic and any relationship you find yourself in will be short lived. We often dismiss suggestions of therapy surprisingly because we are subconsciously scared of what we may learn about ourselves. But the truth of the matter is that both people that are in a relationship must continue to work on bettering his or her self. There are no easy fixes and you must put in hard, diligent and intentional work so that your relationship can be happy, healthy and productive.

No one is perfect and if you truly love someone then you will find that being intentional and deliberate with your actions of removing negativity and old baggage will allow you to have room for growth. Growth is what it is all about. Growing as a couple, growing as your own person & becoming better so that you can attract better from the person that you are with (or someone else).
