How to Break the Cycle of Bad Relationships

A person who consistently finds his or herself in bad relationships may have difficulty breaking this cycle at first. The reason for this is often because chances are the person has trouble recognizing why there is an attraction or tendency to become involved in unhealthy relationships.

This pattern could be related to self-esteem issues or feelings of inadequacy; the latter meaning the person feels they don't deserve better. Inner unhappiness can contribute to a cycle of bad relationships and, as a result, the person is constantly seeking console from others without really addressing the core issues.

It could also be an addiction to bad relationships as a way of emotional escape and detachment from being satisfied in a happy relationship. Some people have difficulty accepting healthy relationships because it's unfamiliar territory.

While problems in a relationship may be with the other person due to their undesirable behaviors, the question that needs asking is why do you keep choosing these types of maters?

At this point, some of the things you want to reflect upon will relate to your own choices and behaviors. Ask yourself a few questions to help you try and see where your behavioral patterns contribute to choices of bad relationships. For instance -

• Are the types of partners you choose to be involved with possess similar attributes?
• Are you attracted to someone who treats people badly?
• Are you contributing to negative behavior in the relationship by being too needy, clingy or jealous?
• Do you tend to get angry quickly and react badly?
• Do the mates you choose frequently get angry or react badly?

The answers to these questions may play provide some insight as to how and why people choose unsuitable partners. Whatever the reason, it's important to be honest with yourself.

If you can correctly identify any common link either with the type of partners you choose or within your own behavior, you can discover what it is that made past relationships so destructive.

• Do you search for partners who need to be taken care of and do you tend to assume the role of caretaker? As a result you end up resentful of always doing all the giving?
• Are you truthful with your partners or do you choose people who tend to be dishonest and don't openly share information?
• Are the people you tend to get involved with verbally or physically abusive?

Once you do this you can then work on knowing how to recognize ways to stay away from those types of people and also how to change your own behavioral tendencies.

No matter what the cause of your bad relationships, whether due to internal or external factors, you'll still need to address your own actions and do some inner soul-searching to pinpoint why you have been making the decisions and routes you have been taking. If the issue comes back to self-esteem, you'll want to correct the problems which have led to low sense of worth. A professional may be able to help you identify the reasons why.

If the problem is inner unhappiness, searching out relationships with the intent on finding happiness is not going to solve the problem because the inner depression still exists. A relationship is not going to resolve unhappiness but only serve as a temporary band-aid which eventually falls off because the wounds underneath are not being healed.
