A recent post is asking ladies to expose their worst flaws, and hundreds of honest women are stepping forward. Here, women share moments when they realized they were the toxic ones in a relationship.
Our past trauma never leaves us, but we can alleviate the pressures it brings through self-reflection and therapy. “It was through uncovering my early life traumas and then seeing how my adaptations to those traumas played out in relationships,” concedes this honest lady.
Another summary forthcoming in this thread claims that “defense mechanisms” manifested in certain situations are her problem. She admits her toxicity came to the fore when she would use “reactive abuse tactics in non-abusive situations.”
“I had this mind and soul-exploding moment of realization,” states a woman who broke up her relationship, “of how I had contributed to the ending, of how I had changed, and the challenges I must have presented.”
When your relationships all turn sour, maybe you are the problem! This narrative fits a woman who says she kept pursuing toxic partnerships before conceding that she was just as much to blame.
Guys out there can sometimes reach a breaking point with manipulative girlfriends, so this story will be familiar. Another honest reflection came when this lady could see what she was doing to her partner.
