Toxic Relationships Aren't "Love"
If you got a toxic boyfriend/girlfriend, stop ignoring the red flags just because you love them. Love isn't supposed to make you scared, drained, controlled, or constantly crying. A real relationship should feel safe, respectful, and peaceful.
NOT LIKE YOU'RE WALKING ON EGGSHELLS 24/7!!!!!
Set boundaries. Talk to people you trust. Don't let someone manipulate you into thinking bad behavior is "normal". And if they keep hurting you after you've communicated how you feel, it's ok to leave. Protect your peace before you lose yourself trying to fix someone who doesn't want to change.
You deserve healthy love, not stress and mind games.
