Good relationships are a prime ingredient for a happy life, and a bad one tends to be a miserable experience. We all know there's plenty of toxic relationships out there. We've seen them, and for many of us, we have been in them. According to a survey, a third of women and a quarter of men have experienced abusive relationships on average. The term "perfect relationship" is nothing more than a myth. You don't just get one served on a plate. According to a therapist, "One thing healthy relationships largely share is adaptability. They adapt to circumstances because we can't escape the fact that we're always changing and going through different phases in life." It's not a secret that we all have our ups and downs and ebbs and flows, from time to time. And this may as well affect our relationship too. But one shouldn't strive for a perfect relationship; instead, endeavour to make the best one can.
