Letting go of a toxic relationship
Holla friends, I welcome you all to the first weekend and the first #prompt of @therealtalkk community in 2026 and this week took me back to a decision I took some years back that regret at all.
As the popular saying goes "A failed relationship is better than a failed married "
One thing I'm very happy about is ending a relationship that turned draining and toxic. It wasn't an easy decision to make, I thought deeply about it, prayed and wept for days while weighing my options and trying to into the future with him and then without him in the picture. I realized that I was better off without him and it was the right time to make the hard decision, to let go and face a different path.
As expected, he wouldn't let go. He brought up reasons why we should still fight to make things work out and try to play the victim card by reminding me of all he has done for me. I was prepared, nothing was going to make me change my mind because I no see no us together in the future.
I played same card with him and reminded him of the sacrifices I made on his behalf, how I helped him achieved his goals and even got him his first laptop. No doubt he was a good guy, he takes care of the cooking and cleaning for me but I wanted more. I wanted someone man enough to protect me, put me first and stand up for me.
Sometimes, love alone isn't enough! I'm happy I took the bold step to end things and I don't regret it at because I'm in a million times better place.
He called and even got some friends to call and plead for us to get back together after about a year, but I told him I've moved on, he should do the same.
** Not every relationship must end in marriage. A failed relationship is far better than a broken marriage!**

I commend you for choosing yourself first by taking that bold step to walk away from such toxic relationship, and sticking to your decision not to look back.
We need to normalize accepting the fact that not all relationships can lead to the isle, make person no go carry you go where you no know. 😂

Good morning

You made the right choice
Thanks. We need to be strong and courageous when making lifetime decisions.
Thank you for your support
You're right. A failed relationship is better than a broken marriage. And although its never easy to let go of relationships, there are times where it is necessary. I really admire that you choose yourself instead of remaining in such all in the name of relationship, it's not something easy to do. But you're right, just love isn't enough
I hope you find someone better soon.
Indeed a failed relationship is better off than a broken marriage. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your input.
