I keep wondering if I made the wrong choice, walking away peacefully from something that was causing me and someone I cared about so much pain, but the more days go by I realize it was the best thing I could do. I realize that the pain of the relationshp (friendship or otherwise) was toxic on us both and I honestly have this advice to anyone going through a friendship or relationship that you're constantly thinking "This is hurting us. Both of us so bad... Should we just end it... should we stop?" No matter why the toxicity exists, always end a toxic relationship. And I mean toxic as in the pain isn't worth the pleasure. Friends fight, they have spats, but if you and your friend are fighting literally every day you talk, you need to end it. 

I'm honestly so happy that I decided to finally step away and end it all. Yes, it hurts somedays that I remember we're not the same anymore, but I look at how happy they are, and how happy I am. The couple days of pain were worth our freedom from the binds of our friendship that were only become nooses around our necks. 

Walking away doesn't mean you have stopped loving someone, it means you realize how much you love them and can sacrifice a couple days unhappiness for the rest of your life being happier without it.

I'm telling you, if you're in a toxic relationship, end it. Especially if there is abuse involved. Verbal abuse hurts just as much as physical. Emotional pain can be the same as physical pain. 

Also remember, not all toxic relationships mean that the people in them are toxic, like mixing bleach and Vinegar.

Bleach + Vinegar = Toxic Chlorine Gas. 

no matter how you mix the two, it will be toxic. 

A toxic friendship can only hurt the people involved worse every day, and it ruins them, it causes them to become caustic. You may love eachother a lot, but prove that love one last time by calling it off if you notice how it's affecting you both. 

You won't regret it. 

You can still always love that friend, and you can work on the relationship, but keep the toxicity out of it by cutting it off before it gets to the point of no return.
