Making an unhealthy relationship work can take its toll on just about anyone. But how does one determine when it is time to call it quits?

We sought the answer to this question from Mzansi women to find out their take on the less than easy and sometimes heartbreaking decision.

Briefly News painted the following scenario for the ladies:

“You have been with your partner for a while now but it hasn’t been working out. You have been begging him to change but he never tries. You feel emotionally drained and you want to leave the toxic relationship. But, even though you know you deserve better, you have been holding onto hope for a while now.
