Publisher's Synopsis
Relationships are very important in our lives. Humans are social by nature and cannot live on their own in this world. Yet, there are relationships where we feel that we are the only ones who care or take responsibility. After a while, we believe that these relationships are very heavy one our lives. Still, we have no clue how to make the wrong right. Relationships are not about the quantity. They are about the quality. One might have more than fifteen friends in his - or her- social circle, but when in need, they find out that they are all alone with no one to run to. On the other hand, they are the first to help whenever someone needs them. A toxic relationship is a relationship which consumes one's soul and effort - and sometimes money- in return for nothing. It is not a secret that life is all about "give and take". It should not be a secret that relationships are also the same: give and take, equally. In this pattern, if a person finds himself - or herself- only giving with no taking back, it can be fairly said that he - or she- are in a toxic relationship.Giving back does not have to be from the same genre. It has to be appreciated as much. Parents offer their children protection, love and money; in return, they receive love, which is the only thing their children can offer, and the only thing these parents look for. However, since there is a giving back attitude, it is not to be called a toxic relationship. Toxic relationships are not restricted to family only. They can be easily found everywhere around us: in work, in love, in marriage, and in any corner with more than one person standing in it. It is only the fact that we refuse to admit that we are involved in a toxic relationship -or more- so we become unable to get rid of it.This book is written in a simple language away from complex terminologies to help you identify a toxic relationship and your best way to save your relationships from being toxic or save yourself from such relationships. It offers you the chance to prepare yourself for any future relationships and avoid the misfortunes of them. This book is not based only upon the author's personal experience, but on hundreds of studies on relationships from all fields from biology, psychology, evolutionary studies and history in order to help you enjoy healthy relationships.
