Why bother reading up troubled relationship quotes in the first place? Well, for everyone in this world, relationships are a major part of who they are and the kind of life that they have, are and will lead.

In spite of knowing this, though, there are still rocky times in our lives when we think that we’re completely alone in the world; that no one before us had ever gone through the gut wrenching emotional pain that a splintering relationship brings.

Reading about other people’s stories and the similar situations can often be a very uplifting experience; it can even be that one thing which makes it all better: this is where quotes come in.

It’s a great feeling to read something that a person had said, maybe even years ago, and be able to say, “I know right?”

Besides, it’s even entertaining to boot!

3 Troubled Relationship Quotes That Are So True!

• “I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken – and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.”

-Margaret Mitchell

This little eloquent gem was once uttered by the incredibly glib author of the classic Gone with the Wind, and we just can’t help agreeing with her more!

While nothing can be more heart breaking than a once cherished relationship splitting apart at the seams, it’s always bad news if you try to mend it by force.

For one thing, even when you keep telling yourself that the relationship is really as strong as it ever was, and as enriching; you know deep down that it isn’t. Even when you try to convince yourself that it’s all dandy, there will always be that nagging sense of dread and unhappiness doggedly following you around.

Better to end the thing completely: it will be absolutely gut wrenching, granted; but the relief will follow.

• “Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.”

-Anais Nin

The above lines can’t be any truer, as so many people from across all cultures and strata will testify. What’s more, it also helps us to realize that a relationship is never something that you should take for granted, for the simple reason that people can’t ever be taken for granted.

Really, think about it: when you love and trust someone so implicitly, isn’t it so remarkably simple to get hurt by something they say or do?

Of course it is! And this is because the people we love are the ones we have the highest expectations from; and if they let us down in some way, it hurts all the more since it’s a kind of pain that’s unexpected.

If these things keep happening, would you stay in such a toxic relationship?

• “It is better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all.”

-          Alfred Tennyson

A fragment to ponder from the enchanting poet: is the regret of a broken relationship worth the happiness that comes with it?

I’d say it is!

Well, I really hope that reading these troubled relationship quotes helped you in some way.
