Leaving a toxic or abusive relationship is not always as simple as ending a relationship. It can involve fear, emotional attachment, financial dependence, family pressure, uncertainty, and concerns about personal safety. If you are facing this situation, you deserve information, support, and the freedom to make decisions without intimidation. Important safety note: If your partner is threatening you, physically hurting you, stalking you, restricting your movements, or threatening your children, prioritize immediate safety over following every step in this guide.

Perhaps your partner denied something you later discovered was true. Maybe they apologised for hiding messages, promised to be honest, and then concealed something else.
