Bad relationships

Bad relationships happen to everyone. Most of us have the ability to pick ourselves up, and move on to making better choices and living happily ever after. Unfortunately some of us end up making the same mistakes over and over again, and remain stuck in unhealthy, bad relationships.

Leading a life without a good love in it, is unhealthy, lonely and unnecessary. If you find yourself stuck in a spiral of painful relationships, step back and take an honest look at yourself and your relationship history.

Your need to take a look at what is going wrong, how you are contributing to it and learn how to break free from it. Be forewarned that this can be difficult and painful. You need to be very honest with yourself and not hide away behind the usual excuses we tend to use to escape acknowledging our own part in this.


Follow the links below to see if you can recognize the mistakes you are making and how to learn from it:

Break bad dating patterns

The first step in breaking bad dating habits is to acknowledge that you are stuck in an ever-repeating cycle of bad relationships. You need to look at your dating history in an open and honest way.

Figure out what is going on, learn how to break bad dating patterns and stop making the same unhealthy dating mistakes.

The ticket to freedom is identifying your mistakes, learning from it and growing.

Relationship sabotage

Sometimes we are afraid of that we want the most: love. It is sometimes just easier to give up and walk away before things start to go wrong and you are hurt again.

If you have been hurt en did not heal from it, you may end up wanting but also undermining your relationships in order to safe yourself from being hurt again. Relationship sabotage happens when you become afraid of emotional intimacy, commitment, or abandonment and you unconsciously say or do things to drive a partner away.

Abandonment issues

It can sometimes happen that you have been hurt and rejected so many times that you now reached a stage where you’ve convinced yourself that there is something wrong with you.

Convinced that you are damaged goods and only worth a sub-standard love, you let your partner treat you as the doormat of the year. You will settle for anything as long as you don’t end up alone.





To be fully available and ready for a rewarding relationship, you need the following essential elements:

  • Feel good about yourself.
  • Know who you are and loving it.
  • Feel good about your life and everything in it.
  • Be clear about what you want in a relationship.
  • Have healthy boundaries that will deter “bad” characters.
  • Learn and master healthy relationship skills.
