Understanding toxic relationships and learning strategies to protect your well-being using Stoic philosophy. Explore practical techniques for managing negativity and setting boundaries.
The length of a friendship doesn't give someone a "free pass" to negatively affect a relationship. Don't hold onto it because it's always been these. I recently had to accept that even a long friendship - 25 years - had an expiry.
I came across this post hours after having a conversation with my significant other about a friendship she views at toxic and how it is not only negatively impacting me, but our relationship as well.
I’ve told this person I would like some distance for a few days and then I think we need to have a talk. They have sent 7 text messages in response to mine about needing space. I know our conversation will be stressful, long, & full of rebuttals, but I’m ready to get this out in the open, set some boundaries, & move on.
This article was exactly what I needed right now 🖤
Very true
The secret is to move on..
Enjoyed the good times and moments and while we may cherish them too, we no more continue like old times. It is done and dusted.
Move on to more promising relationships which is a certainty.
