Here is a powerful collection of bad relationships quotes to help you think about your best next steps when your personal relationships are not where you want them to be.
Even the best of us have been in a bad relationship at least once in our lives.
Often, we needed the right inspiration, support, or that little push, to help us close that chapter.
It can help to read the words of others who have been in similar situations before us, or to know that these feelings will pass.
Perhaps the most meaningful is to see others who have successfully moved on and been the better for it.
In that vein, here are some inspirational, wise, and eye-opening bad relationship quotes, bad relationship sayings, and bad relationship proverbs, collected from a variety of sources over the years.

I’m moving on with my life.’” – Joel Osteen, ‘Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential’
