Love has nothing to do with it…
Recently someone told me they ended a relationship with
their partner and I told them I was sorry because I knew they loved that person….They replied….Love has nothing to do with it…
I totally understood what they were saying
In the name of love people excuse poor behavior, stay in
dysfunctional relationships and accept treatment that is unacceptable
You don’t have to be disrespected, devalued, taken advantaged
of or used in the name of love…Love doesn’t allow someone to talk rudely to you, to ignore your needs, to take from you, or to be selfish…
You don’t have to ride the crazy train because you love someone
Most of the time we are allowing ourselves to be
treated badly by people we love that we are related to (family, our kids, etc.)
or people that we have intimate relationships with….
How about considering creating some boundaries with people
you love….not allowing them to tear you down or treat you poorly…
How about not losing yourself in the interest of your
partner or family member
How about not thinking of yourself as not being good enough
for any other scenario so tolerating what you haveHow about not making the relationship more important than you are to yourself
Love has nothing to do with it…
Codependency Does
Look it up....you might be surprised at what you find out
about yourself
