While it’s easy to assume that your relationship with your significant other directly affects how you feel, the science around this topic has been more than ordinary.

More and more studies are showing that just being in a bad relationship can make you sick—and even die young! 

However, our traditional ways of being together can't be denied because focusing/relying on scientific recoveries alone may lead to significant destructions in life.

Here are our thoughts on how you can manage, cope or adjust whenever you're found in such situations.

The Importance of Having Close Relationships

Humans are social creatures and, as such, need close relationships to thrive. According to a growing body of research, our physical and mental health suffer when we don't have close relationships.

Close relations are important in everyone's life because too much isolation may lead to several factors affecting your decisions and way of life. This is natural!

A strong social relations can help you to survive many challenges in life. Humans can't live without companions as well as every creature.

Some studies also show that having supportive friends, spouses or family members can help people recover from illness faster and experience less stress. And, if you're already sick or recovering from an illness, they can help you get better faster.

Feeling Unloved, Less Liked, or Unappreciated?

Toxic relationships can be dangerous to your health—both mentally and physically. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe, hopeless, or trapped, it’s time to get out.

Unfortunately, getting out isn’t always easy and it needs constant discipline to be able to. Below are a few things to keep in mind if you’re trying to leave a toxic relationship.

Don't try to be violent yourself when trying to get out of this. And if there is violence involved caused by the other partner, don't release your anger. Rather, get others like your family members and friends aware and include other security personnel if it's getting more serious.

Most instances, you're advised not to take anything from the abusive partner except personal items like clothes, shoes, underwear, etc. Let him/her understand you can survive without getting anything from them. There's always a special person waiting for you out there that will accept every movement of yours. Be calm!

In some cases, it may not be possible for the victim of abuse to leave the home(if you're staying together) right away due to financial constraints or lack of other living arrangements.

And for security reasons, you may leave to relocate so you're not hurt where nobody will be around to help with the situation. However, if you own the place of stay, then you may find ways to let the abusive partner leave.

Staying In a Toxic Relationship

Sometimes, people stay in toxic relationships because they hope their partner will change.

They think that if they just hang in there long enough, their partner will see the error of their ways and things will go back to the way they were in the beginning.

Unfortunately, this is often not the case. In fact, research has shown that staying in a bad relationship can actually have negative effects on your health.

One study showed that couples who argued more than once per week had higher blood pressure than those who argued less frequently.

Another study found that people who experienced chronic stress as a result of the conflict in their relationship also had lower immune system functioning. This implies they are more likely to get sick! So what does this mean for you? Well, it's very important to be conscious in your relationship so you all live healthy with your children(if any) at all times.

So even though it might seem like being in a bad relationship could make you sick, it's hard to know for sure whether one thing causes the other. Regardless, it's worth making an effort to break out of any unhealthy pattern you might be caught up in - whether it's leaving an unhealthy relationship or having healthier habits with your partner.

Avoiding Divorce When Children Are Involved

Getting divorced is hard enough, but when you have children, the stakes are even higher. You want to do what's best for them, but you also don't want to drag them through a long and contentious court battle.

It's no secret that divorce can be hard on kids. But what many people don't realize is that it can also take a toll on your health.

One study has found that couples who stay together for the sake of their children are more likely to report poor physical and mental health than those who divorce.

The suggested possible explanation for this connection may be the stress associated with being in an unhappy marriage, which could cause hypertension, high cholesterol, depression, or anxiety. 

Luckily, there are things you can do to reduce the stress of divorce and make the process as smooth as possible for your yourselves.

Majorly, you would have to communicate with your partner about your past love life till when you started having children. Memories may be revived here causing the lost love to reappear naturally if the other partner understands the need to.

In this case, you may not have to live together because of your children but the reason you were together in the first place.

The Impact of Being With the Wrong Person on Physical Health

Your body responds to stress by releasing hormones like cortisol. This can lead to high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, and trouble sleeping.

In fact, one study found that people in unhappy marriages were more likely to have high levels of inflammation, which has been linked to heart disease, arthritis, and even cancer.

Similarly, couples who fight often are more likely to suffer from depression. So if you’re feeling run down or stressed out, take time for yourself and make sure your relationship is healthy before it affects your physical health.

And remember, there's always someone else more special for you out there!
