Well, if you know that the relationship is unhealthy, there is always a way of escape for us all. I'm sure if the relationship is unhealthy the ones that love you ,people like your family and friends know that it was unhealthy when they saw the signs. Look, if you really want out get out and don't make excuses why you can't leave. Its no fun to be in a relationship and you are only putting up with it because you have no where to go. Hey I don't know your situation, but i will say this: if you have to live with a relative until you get on your feet do it, otherwise don't complain about what you tolerate.

Nice!real smooth even though you are referring to yourself ok anyone who has been around the block can see through this ok.
What do you mean she is unable to leave is she married to the person is she of legal age he has no hold on her or any papers and cannot hold her against her will that is known as Entrapment or be held against her will and is a crime in this country ok.
Is her life being threatened or in danger than she should tell someone before it gets out of hand parents,police,close friend anyone she can make aware of her situation in the event something God,forbid happens and than you know what than she just gets up and walks away and if the guy wants to be stupid and so something which guys are known to do than she has the legal recourse to nail him to the wall legally.
I mean make the most if the relationship is unhealthy and
toxic than move on don't come off with that until she is able to move is she being held in a dungeon,lets be serious here if the relationship is bad do not wait get your butt up and get out before it will be too late for you to do anything ok.

Answer 5

One way or another there is always a way to leave. It may not be easy, but there is a way to leave. If she doesn't have a way to afford food, then find friends to help her and get a job. If she has no where to live, get parents or friends involved to get her stuff out and move her immediately. If a relationship is unhealthy, there's no way to "make the best of it". It's hard and many women deal with it everyday. But, we need to stand up and realize that we deserve better.

Answer 6

You are in a very difficult situation. My advice to you is keep it cool and try not to rock the boat. Keep the peace as long as you can and in the meantime start looking for a place to relocate. If you feel that it is not safe for you to move while he is there, make sure you have all of your ducks in a row and move while he is at work. Make sure this is what you really want to do because if it is not you will find yourself back in the same relationship again when he calls and asks you to come back. If it is that bad go to a shelter and get yourself out ASAP. Don't wait until it is to late.

Answer 7

I might approach the relationship with "things are not going as well as we had anticipated". What are your feelings about that? IF you are living together, perhaps you might approach it as "what would you think about us sharing a place as just friends"? Open ended questions has gotten me through some tough times myself in a similar situation. Also telling him I was sorry he felt that way when he said he was angry, sad, upset or what he was at the time seem to help settle him down. We ended up as room mates and it is still working out 2 years later..... Just some food for thought!
Of course you could exit when the atmosphere was more friendly and you had a place to go.

Answer 8

There is no way to make the best of an unhealthy relationship. If you are concerned about your saftey,contact the local abused womens hotline ,its in your phone book,they have a 1-800 number.
If its finances keeping you with an abusive peron they will help you . Move on NOW

Answer 9

Why is she unable to leave? If a relationship is unhealthy, then it is not good for her to stay, no matter what. Every situation is different, but usually it is best to sit down face to face and share honestly that you don't want the relationship to continue. Answer questions honestly, but try not to drag the conversation out longer than it needs to be.

Answer 10

well, without specifics, its hard to give concise direction.. however.. you need to focus on getting yourself into a situation to where you can exit. Locate a relative or friend that you can stay with. Im assuming you have children.. sign them up for a day care program. Perhaps look for a job, better job, etc. If you can't get a good enough job.. sign up for one of the 6 month trade programs, you might be able to get a grant for it. IF HE IS ABUSIVE, IN ANY WAY, EVEN PSYCHOLOGICALLY - GO TO A WOMENS SHELTER. You will be able to stay a month or so there, and save all of your money and get on your feet.

Answer 11

Well...for example. My cousin was that way. She had an abusive, cheating, lazy, good for nothing boy friend. Who wrecked her cars, was constantly running around on her. He even went as far as holding a knife to her little girls throat and threatened to kill her. Cause he THOUGHT she was cheating on him. Myself. My mom. My aunt and uncle ( her parents) and my 3 cousins went to her place. My uncle and my 3 cousins kept him in a corner. While we packed her stuff up into a U-haul. And moved to her another place. Unfortunately. He found her and she let him move back in and the same thing happened all over again. The third time. My aunt took her kids, and told her that it was her problem. If she wanted to be with a Abusive no good boy friend..that's all on her. She finally after a while got the hint and got ride of him.
