Being single is preferable to being in a terrible relationship. Allowing your heart to persuade your soul to accept this kind of love is a mistake. Don't put your happiness at risk by falling in love with someone who doesn't know how to love. You can experience some magic if you can get the courage to seek out the appropriate relationship for you. True love does exist; all you have to do is wait.

The following is a list of 7 things you can learn from a toxic relationship:

1. The past does not guarantee the future.

Because love is lived in the now, don't cling to the past and memories. Just because you've been together for a longer period of time doesn't ensure you'll have a happy future together. If you don't like your current relationship, you may hope that it will improve over time, but you must be cautious to determine whether this is truly achievable.

2. It is impossible to make someone adore you.

It is impossible to force someone to love you. You can't compel someone to love you if they aren't interested in you. And a relationship in which only one person truly loves is a relationship in need of completion. It will come to an end sooner or later. For love to grow and evolve, it must exist between two people.

3. The happy times don't have to overshadow the terrible ones.

Because there are pleasant moments every now and then, you typically wind up dismissing the negative ones. Don't be so quick to forgive. We don't have to disregard the difficult times and act as if they never happened. If they come back again and again, don't forget about them.

It's probably time to make a change if you compare the good times against the bad ones and the scales tilt towards the terrible times.

4. This isn't love; it's manipulation.

When we love, we can be extremely vulnerable. You may find yourself accepting whatever occurs simply because he says he loves and needs you. But let me tell you something: this is manipulation, not love. He simply wants you to satisfy him, and while you may not know it now, you will be able to understand everything that is going on in the future.

5. You don't have faith in your partner

We are often very easy to persuade when we are in love. But you must be firm and refuse to accept false promises, as well as all the plans that have been postponed at the last minute.

Don't let time pass you by because you'll lose faith in everyone.

6. You don't have to adore someone who is only pretending to be in love with you.

Don't fall in love with somebody who doesn't respect you for who you are. Understand that you need to be with a man who will express exactly what's on his mind and who will go to great lengths to make you happy. If you look closely, you'll discover that he's only appearing to be interested in what you have to say or how you feel. Perhaps you should consider what you can do about it.

7. You learn that you can't change people

Even when we're in toxic relationships, we might have moments of clarity where we know something isn't quite right. While some may see this as a reason to flee, others may see it as an opportunity to alter their partner. But understand this now, and understand it thoroughly: you can't alter people. You're not going to be able to do it.
