AGood love can lift your heart, give you butterflies and inspire you to dream of a bright future. A bad relationship can cause you to be brokenhearted and make you wish you never met them.
What’s worse is that we don’t always know when the person we love is actually bad for us. Sometimes we think that’s just how love is supposed to be. Or, maybe you’re “accepting the love that you believe you deserve,” Stephen Chbosky once stated.
In a perfect world, we’d all have and know only that kind of love all the time — but we don’t live in a perfect world. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a relationship with someone who causes more harm than good.
Sometimes things can get so bad that we are unable to take it anymore. In these cases, the only option is to leave. When we do, we realize how poorly they treated our family.

Heartbreak can be lonely without a friend who understands. Sad, but inspiring love quotes can be reassuring when there is no one to talk to. Take, for instance, Sylvia Plath’s quote, “Perhaps someday I’ll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.”
Sometimes, it takes sad quotes in order to remind us that love is the most powerful and painful force on this planet. People who are experiencing heartache often find comfort in the saddest of quotes. Meredith Taylor wrote, “My heart felt like it no longer belonged to me.” It now felt as it had been stolen, torn from my chest by someone who wanted no part of it.”
