Nov 14, 2018 by apost team

Sometimes, you might not think that you're going to be back to your normal self after losing the person you are to a toxic man. A relationship should make you feel happy. It shouldn't make you feel like you've done something wrong all the time or that your life is miserable while you're with the person you love. The relationships that you have should provide value instead of taking it away.

If you find the right person and you're in a relationship with the right person, then you're going to be happy. You're going to receive the love that you desire and that you deserve while freely giving love to the other person instead of there being a forced feeling. If you date the wrong person, there are things that you'll notice.

If you're like some women, you might stay attached to a toxic man just because you don't want to be alone. You're afraid to leave. There are times when you feel butterflies in your stomach when you think about the person, even if you know that the person is not who you deserve. Think about what your life would be like if you hadn't made the decision to leave.

This person likely caused you to lose your self-esteem and the value that you had for your life. You were wrapped around a finger that pulled you in from the beginning. There was a weakness involved that didn't allow you to voice your true feelings. You didn't know what he was doing to your mind and your body at the time. He was probably the person who was behind the decisions that you made. You looked forward to satisfying his desires instead of your own.

When you date someone who is toxic, you lose track of how to be happy. You're worried about looking a certain way and making sure the man is happy. Even though you smiled at him, he never offered a smile back and seemed to complain. You had to watch your actions because you were afraid that he would make fun of you or ridicule you for every little thing.

Conversations were far from what they should have been. You stopped trying to find out what was wrong. You likely didn't see yourself as attractive. While together, you probably thought that he wasn't that kind of man because you loved him. There was a time when you wanted him to be the man you deserved and loved. There had to be something good in the man you were with. Unfortunately, he was everything that you didn't want to believe that he was, and he was toxic to your life.

Don't think that every man is like him. You can communicate with other people. You are pretty enough for someone to love. Talk to your friends again, telling them about your relationship so that they understand. Become a person who is strong enough to walk away from the poison.
