The worst relationships can sometimes be the hardest to get over but let us help you with that 🤕

People who haven’t been through it might not understand why anyone would pine after aThe specifics of toxic relationships are going to look different for everyone, but all of them, are going to make you feel bad. A relationship is meant to add to your life, so if one is leaving you feeling empty, misunderstood, unsupported, attacked or small then it may be a toxic one.

‘We think that if we broke the relationship, we must be able to fix it, which can trigger us to try harder to get the good relationship back,’ she adds.If you don’t think you deserve healthy love, why wouldn’t you cling to what you did get, even if it didn’t fulfil you? ‘Sometimes we see having a relationship better than having no relationship at all,’ says Chris Riley, a Celebrity Psychic who often does love readings for clients.In business, there’s something called the ‘sunk cost fallacy’ that drives decisions.
