AnneT1985 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Hey y'all! I was wondering what you thought about this question. I hope this makes sense. I know we have all had a person like this in our lives- my question is if it is too toxic for a relationship to sustain itself and if you believe it's best to let a friendship/relationship like this go or if you have had to yourself. What I am referring to is the perpetual state of the victim mentality/self pitying along with unrealistic expectations on others/sense of entitlement that they themselves cannot reciprocate. I am wondering if a frank conversation would even do any good for this type of person. I'd love to know your stories, thoughts, opinions, personal boundaries etc. Thanks so much in advance y'all! I appreciate each and every comment xx

I appreciate each and every comment xx I was accused of being this exact person in my my latest relationship. I would not mind having a frank conversation with you. I would also like to caution you that I have recently did some spring cleaning in my life due to that toxic relationship, which included disconnecting from mutual friends we had for various reasons. It wasn't easy, but...needed to be done. 1

whichwayisup Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Toxic and unhealthy friendships don't change. The only way to deal with them is to cut that person out of your life as much as you can. 1
