I hate the misconception that you have to constantly go through hell and back with your partner to have a successful relationship.Cheating, lying, manipulation, lgaslight and misery in a relationship is not normal. You don't have to put up with these things in order to prove that
"no relationship is perfect". You exhaust yourself in the name of love... Meanwhile you have circles around your eyes, you're losing your hair, you're suffering from stress related health /skin problems and your emotional cup is completely empty.
Your mental and emotional health should never be sacrificed just so you can say you have a man. Stop using other people to fill empty voids. Being broken and suffering through years and years of toxic love should never be the goal.
Be strong enough to stand on your own two feet and make decisions that aid in your emotional growth. You do not have to suffer in the name of love. And people that are suffering, love encouraging others to stay and also suffer in their relationships.
No... Love is not about proving you can stick it out day after day in miserable environment. It's tired, toxic and absolutely disgusting. Struggle love is not the goal.
