Relationships don't always turn toxic because of the people in the relationship...
So many healthy relationships end in toxicity because of destructive external voices...
From family members, friends, work colleagues, and others who place their own biased opinions due to their own past, their own experiences, and their own unresolved traumas as poisonous seeds into your mind and your relationship.
These toxic influences can fuel unnecessary thoughts, doubts, and sometimes destructive patterns and actions that lead to heartbreaking consequences.
This unnecessary destruction from this type of external noise can damage trust, compassion within the relationship, open communication, as well as intimacy. It can also result in an erosion of emotional well-being which then leads to the creation of a toxic environment within the relationship.
Don't let others determine what relationship is right for you.
Don't let others make decisions about your life.
Use your own instincts, communicate in an emotionally mature way, handle problems as they arise, know what your boundaries and your deal breakers are, and always maintain a healthy level of respect, compassion, and support for one another, and remember who you're actually in a relationship with!
Sometimes true love requires the courage to stand up against external influences that are biased, judgemental, and sometimes completely wrong in order to prevent destroying what can actually be a beautiful relationship.
The opinions of others aren't always right, and if you choose to believe their opinions based on their unresolved flaws, insecurities, and trauma over and above your own instincts and your own intelligence, then it's really them who's in a relationship with your partner, not you.
Don't allow people who aren't in your relationship to dictate how you should act in your relationship, because you'll only end up destroying it and creating toxicity when there wasn't any.
