How do I get out of a toxic relationship?

I am aware that our relationship is toxic. I feel like it is not working out but I always find myself not breaking it off and continuing to “work things out”. He is inconsiderate, not romantic, irresponsible, and hypocritical. We argue multiple times a week- mostly me expressing my feelings about something he did then him defending himself. Most of the things he does are because of his “I do things on my own corner of the world” attitude. Basically he considers himself unbothered and worry free. In reality he is just inconsiderate to those around him and irresponsible to anything he has to do. I call him out in hopes of change. He argues at first but then seems to be understanding and willing to work on himself. I forgive him for whatever we argued about and we continue. Then he does something else that upsets me. He upsets me a lot. I say I love him but I don’t even know what that feels like anymore. I got it so confused. I haven’t been in a relationship in two years until I met him. It’s been over a year now. It’s been hard. I’m not happy with him but at the same time I don’t want to let him go. I think I’m scared to be alone but he makes me miserable. I lose sleep because of him. I become irresponsible and neglect others for him. I do not like who I am with him. But I can’t leave him alone. I don’t know how to make it any easier.

When he leaves for work (or to go hang with his friends), pack your clothes and anything that may have your social security number on it/personal information into a bag; and walk.

Take whatever cash is in the house and go.

No matter where you are, it's a big country. A one way ticket to anywhere will get you on your way to a new life.

You know this relationship sucks, to put it mildly. You only get one life. So muster up the courage to get him out of your life. Which is worse being alone or putting up with a bully who is ruining your health?

You are repeating your abusive childhood cycle in the Hope's, subconsciously, of healing it. This does not work.
You have to get out of this toxic loop.

Nothing positive is likely to come from repeating the same thing again and again !

It sounds as though you already know what you have to do.
I can't tell u how to get out but if u want something better u will go 4 it.

Good luck
