Khalil Ramos recalls ‘worst years of his life’ as being stuck in a toxic relationship


Khalil Ramos recalled the “worst years of his life” when he was stuck in a toxic relationship with an ex.

In another episode of “Figure It Out,” where Khalil and Gabbi Garcia talked about toxic relationships, Khalil revealed being in one in the past. His partner, he said, went seeing other guys.

“For me, the level of toxicity I experienced in my past relationships — I was never enough,” Khalil said, admitting he got his heart broken "plenty of times because there were other guys.”

“I experienced the worst years of my life. It’s a phase of my life I forget about that I would want to forget and delete from my life," Khalil said. "It was a phase of my life where I felt helpless. I felt like my feelings weren’t of value to anyone.”

The relationship, Khalil said, wasn’t stable enough and healthy enough that’s why both people allowed it to happen.

“When you’re on that road and nilaban mo pa rin pero you’re not equipped, back and forth na siya,” he shared.

[When you're on that road and you fight for it but you're not equipped, it's just going to go back and forth.]

During the same episode, Gabbi admitted to becoming a jealous person after her former partner cheated on her.

Gabbi and Khalil just celebrated their fourth year together. The two said that at the very beginning of their relationship, they made it clear that they wanted to be smart about it.

As early as 2017, “we knew we had a nice connection. A beautiful connection so we really didn’t want to waste it by being toxic," Gabbi said.

If you’re in a toxic situation, Gabbi and Khalil advise that you take a step back and try to rethink everything.

“Because your feelings matter. Our mental health matters. Your worth matters,” they said.

“When you feel like you’re not worth it anymore, na, ‘Shucks. Wala na ‘yung self-worth ko,’ that’s a red flag,” Gabbi said.

“For me, kailangan pagpasok mo ng relationship, buo ka as a person. Dapat mas magkakaroon pa ng second layer, may icing on top because of your relationship. Hindi ‘yung mababawasan ng isang slice.”

[For me, you should be a whole person when you enter a relationship so you should even have s second layer, an icing on top because of your relationship. You shouldnt’ be torn down and be reduced of a slice.] — Kaela Malig/LA, GMA News
