Many times a healthy relationship, a source of love and support for various reasons, turns into conflictive or toxic relationships; which can arouse a lot of discomfort in those involved. There are many things you can do, but the main key to consider is to improve communication and accept things as they are. This way they will not end up affecting our health and emotionality.
Here are 6 ways to handle and address conflictive relationships or toxic relationships.
How to deal with troubled relationships?
Accept the other
We cannot ask our partner to change his personality or way of being for us; otherwise, we would not be accepting it as it is. In this way, wanting that person to become another being can create a fertile environment for conflictive relationships. What you do have the right to do is express what affects or bothers us, and decide if you want to be with him / her but without trying to change ... unless you do it on your own initiative. Many times we need someone to help us see our mistakes to change.
Make clear requests
If you don't want to see yourself in the middle of a troubled or toxic relationship, you should make direct requests rather than expect your partner to read your mind and behave according to your expectations.
Give recognition when needed
You cannot expect something from another person, if we do not give it too. Sometimes, we may be waiting for the other person to take the first step, however that person may be waiting for the same. It does not mean a bad thing, if we are the one who started to compliment him.
Think well what you want
There are many people who, to avoid confrontations and bring the relationship in peace, give in to everything, even if they do not want to do it and this is not healthy. Thinking about what you want and, above all, asking for it, instead of avoiding confrontation can be quite a therapeutic exercise and a way to assert your rights.
Give in if necessary
But other times, you have to give up a bit and it can be good, especially at times when the situation becomes a pitched battle to see who can do more. Giving in a little can reduce tension and that's okay; Giving in on these occasions is a way to avoid troubled relationships.
Trust the other
Troubled relationships are often the consequence of mistrust in the other person's abilities. If you don't really trust the other person, it is best to walk away or end the relationship. Remember that the foundation of any relationship is trust.
