Conflict in relationships can hit us harder than other types of stress. Therefore, it sometimes becomes necessary to call it quits on relationships that continually leave us stressed and drained, not only to make time for relationships that truly nurture and affirm us, but because the stress and negativity can take a real toll. If you have tried
conflict resolution and
healthy communication strategies and still find that certain relationships in your life still bring excessive stress, you may consider
letting go of toxic relationships.
