How do I break away from a bad relationship?

We've been on and off for nearly a year, what started off as a rebound thing has become a bad habit, we get together, he treats me great for a month or so, then turns into a complete prat. We break up for a couple of months then get back together and it all goes round again.

I know I have no future with him, at 25 I want a stable loving relationship.

How do I break this cycle? I just don't seem to meet any guys...I don't regards myself as ugly, or a bad personality, I just feel stuck in a rut.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I broke the cycle and walked away, deleted all his numbers/emails/Facebook friendship etc, acted as if he'd never been in my life. Didn't answer one phone call or text message after I told him it was over. I'm worth so much more than him, and I couldn't be happier now :)

I understand your problem too well.

On the one hand you know its not right and wont last, but on the other hand your kind of used to it and it does offer some comfort.

You said it started as a rebound thing. This already is unstable. Now you talking about meeting new guys. You must understand that a new guy is not the answer. You dont need one to take you away from the other. If your not happy, go.. all by yourself. I have had to learn this the hard way.

hiyah the best thing youve done is realised you are stuck earlier on! now its getting yourself out of it is what you need to focus on. End it completely you cannot stay in such an unhelathy relationship as eventually it will start to change you physically and emotionally, your young! get out there start a fresh dont focus yourself on gettin serious instantly it takes time but you can enjoy that time before you find the serious one, you deserve it so dont ever feel that you should of carried on this way, your doing the right thing.

Its up to you what you do but you need to start thinking for yourself and your future only you can make it dont let somebody like this break it hope this helps a bit x :)
