    What do we see? A woman who seems to fall apart when she’s in a relationship, even though she’s fine on her own. Many of us want a partner, but living in a relationship is different. Suddenly there’s envy, unpleasant childhood memories, and the influence of toxic relationships we saw in our parents. Because of that, we react in ways we don’t actually want to.

      So just leave or go to therapy? Since the comic is very ambiguous, it could signify three things:

      • Her boyfriend is being toxic to her.
      • She is being toxic to her boyfriend.
      • Both are being toxic to each other.

      In any case, seek help if your relationship matters, or leave it because it’s toxic, wether intentionally or not.

      We should strive to be well-adapted adults, this kind of behavior is immature and unhealthy, even if the toxicity comes from trauma and not malice.
