Manipulation is not love.
Marina Abrosimova
Jealousy is not love.
Control is not love.
If your partner loved you, they would value your judgment.
They would trust you to make the right decision without feeling the need to interfere.
They wouldnt trick you into doing whatsbest for youbecause they dontknowwhats best for you.
Only it’s possible for you to decide that for yourself.
You have your own mind, and its a beautiful one.
Dont let them tell you otherwise.
And certainly dont let them frame their manipulation like its a gift.
Like theyre helping you out because theyre so much wiser and well-rounded than you.
If they wanted to help you, they would support you, no matter what choice you made.
If they wanted to help you, they would letyouchoose the best path forward foryourself.
No matter what they say to you, their manipulation and jealousy arent proof of how much they care.
In healthy relationships, couples show they care with hugs and kisses, with chocolate surprises and weekend getaways.
They show they care by uplifting their partner, by acting as their teammate and cheerleader.
Dont let your partner twist a toxic situation so that make themselves look like the good guy.
Jealous is natural in any relationship but the way a person handles that jealousy is the important part.
Your partner should trust you to do the right thing.
Do they think youre incapable of taking care of yourself?
Are they lying when they call you strong and independent?
You lived without them before they came along.
you’re free to do it again.
You could do itnow.
Remember, your partner should encourage decisions thatyoumake.
They should push you to do whatyouwant to do.
At least, it isnt the pop in of love you deserve.
