How to End an Obsessive Relationship

Obsessive relationships are often portrayed as being romantic in movies and books. However, in reality, obsessive relationships are psychologically and emotionally damaging to both partners. They can even be physically dangerous. Ending an obsessive relationship is usually difficult, whether you, your partner or both of you are obsessed. Ending the relationship will allow both partners to heal and move on. It is important to focus on yourself and your own needs as you end an obsessive relationship.

Instructions

Tell your partner that you need to end the relationship for the benefit of both of you.

Set boundaries for your contact with the other person and follow them. For example, you might decide that you will not answer the phone if he calls past a certain hour, or that you will not see him in person.

Talk to friends or family about the issue. It will be beneficial to you to have emotional support available to help you deal with your feelings at this time.

Contact authorities or emergency services if you feel threatened by the other person, or if the other person is threatening to harm himself.

Admit to yourself that you are addicted and that this relationship is unhealthy for you. Express your thoughts and feelings to your partner, clearly stating that you need to end the relationship for the benefit of you both.

Resist urges to contact the person unnecessarily through calling, texting or social media. If you need to discuss something with her, such as information relating to bills, do so, but do not look for reasons to contact her.

Consider seeing a psychologist or psychotherapist to discuss your problems. The insight that a professional can give you into your behavior can be indispensable to you at this crucial time.

Talk to friends or family and let them know what you're going through. Talking with them will allow you to vent your feeling and get the opinions of people you trust.

Spend your extra time on a hobby or other favorite activity. Physical activities, such as weight lifting or running, are especially beneficial to your emotional well-being. Focus on yourself and your emotional healing. This means taking time to yourself and doing things that make you feel good, so you can develop a healthy self-concept.
