We have all been in Bad Relationships of some sort at some times in our lives. I’m starting to believe if you don’t know what bad relationships are you definitely won’t know what good ones are either.

To start bad relationships involve constant frustration. They often seem to be attainable relationships in their possibilities but always a little far off to get a hold of. In bad relationships one person attaches themselves to another who is unavailable for whatever reason. The reason for the unavailability in bad relationships could range from not wanting a commitment, to being with someone else, to incapable of giving of ones self you name it. These are emotionally bad relationships. There is a whole other level of bad relationships that involve physical abuse as well. Most of the physically abusive bad relationships start out with emotional abuse first so beware.

In bad relationships one party never gets what they really need out of a relationship. It can cause a devastated esteem, which causes such a bad hurt that it prevents the hurt individual from moving on in their lives and careers from the culprit. Bad relationships are time bombs for loneliness, rage and despair.

The first indicator in bad relationships is; two people involved on totally different wave lengths from each other. They have little in common, there is no real communication and the culprit doesn’t enjoy the victims company.

There is medical evidence in studies done now to show that bad relationships help destroy our physical health as well. The term broken hearted isn’t far fetched. There have been CT/CAT scans done of people in bad relationships and it has shown hardening of the arteries and other arterial damage. There was a study presented at the American Psychosomatic Society to illustrate the findings. There were also studies done in Italy showing how it affects the immune system, weakening that as well. The findings were printed in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. The study showed women who have been in bad relationships had their systems killer cells at a significantly lower level of immune level efficiency than women who were not.

The problem is that despite the pain both mentally and physically bad relationships cause people remain in them. They find themselves unable to leave, this is when you need to examine if this pattern of behavior is addictive for you.

The main factors that keep you stuck bad relationships is the societal factors we are hit with daily such as love lasts a lifetime, if you can’t keep a relationship you are an emotional failure, being alone is terrible, and how can I hurt someone who loves me. Top that off with low esteem issues such as; I am not attractive enough, I’m not interesting enough and if I work hard enough to change and be better they will stay. If you suffer from any of these views and are in a one sided relationship where your needs are not being met and feel hurt all the time by the other party then you are nurturer of bad relationships. Try and seek some kind help to get you out of those bad relationships before you are permanently hurt and scarred both mentally and physically.
