Manipulation is not love. Jealousy is not love. Control is not love. Love comes when the manipulation stops! And when you dare to be vulnerable.
Have you ever been in a relationship that made you feel like you weren't in control of your life? Of your own feelings, thoughts and actions?
One morning you wake up and start to doubt yourself, your beliefs. You realize that you do many things only for your partner, not for yourself.
Don't let your partner manipulate you into doing what they think is best for you. He doesn't know what's best for you. Only you know that. You can decide for yourself.
Your partner may really know you better than anyone else, but they don't know you better than you know yourself.
He can't tell you what you want. He can't dream your dreams. He doesn't know where you hide your pain. He doesn't know how your soul feels when he doubts your decisions.
You have a mind of your own, and a wonderful one at that. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And above all, don't let him impose his manipulative behavior on you. A partner who thinks manipulation is a gift is not a person anyone wants in their life.
Don't let him make you feel like he's better than you. That you are not worthy. That you don't know. That you can be happy, that he even wants to have you by his side. No one is better than you. Everyone is a world unto themselves.
If I wanted to help you, I would tell you my opinion and let you make up your own mind. I would support you no matter what choice you made. I'd let you choose what you think is the best path, even if it's far from perfect. He would allow you to make mistakes and offer you a hand when you were in trouble.
No matter what he tells you, his manipulation and jealousy are not proof that he cares. In healthy relationships, partners show their love with hugs and kisses, with small surprises throughout everyday life. They accept each other's mistakes and do not point fingers and criticize them. They grow together.
You can't be unhappy or deluded or trapped in a relationship.
Don't let your partner turn a toxic situation to their advantage. Jealousy is natural and present in almost every relationship. But what is important is the way the partners deal with it. Communicate, talk through your, his, her emotions so that you can reach results and good compromises.
You must not be caught. Don't let your partner manipulate you, follow you, or demand that you spend every second with them because they don't want anyone else around you.
Your partner must trust you. If he knows you love him and want to spend the rest of your life with him, why should he check you? Think you're lying? That you are not able to take care of yourself? You don't need that. You lived without them before they appeared in your life. You still can. Even this moment.
Do not forget that your partner should encourage you in all decisions in life. It should guide you and encourage you to do what you want. He shouldn't be giving you a list of demands he wants you to fulfill if you want him to stay with you. Coercion and conditioning lead nowhere but pain.
Do not allow him to control your decisions and direct you to completely different goals, goals that have nothing to do with you, but only with him.
This is control. It's manipulative. This is not love. At least it's not the kind of love you deserve. Please go away. You deserve more!
