I've never really understood why people remain in toxic relationships until I experienced it.

The truth is, hope plays a major rule on how we see our partner. You know they hurt you l, but you stay because you sincerely hope they do change. You repeatedly tell yourself the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. But how can you meet an angel when your doors are shot?

So, in order not to fall for same trap of hoping for change, I made a 2-3-6 dating rule. If the after six months my partner isn't showing any possible sign of compatibility, I walk and never look back.
