When Abuse Feels Like Love: How to Recognize It and Find Your Way Out:

Image
  I received a message from a lady who wished to remain anonymous. She said: "Please help! I'm trapped in an abusive relationship with my boyfriend. He controls me a lot financially and emotionally. He even beats me sometimes. I'm scared and don't know where to turn or how to leave this relationship. I desperately need advice. I feel lost and alone." Her message hit me deeply. It wasn’t just her words, but the pain and desperation behind them. If you’ve ever been in a similar situation or know someone who has, you know how overwhelming and isolating it can feel.  It’s a hard truth to swallow, but many people in abusive relationships don’t always realize what’s happening until they’re already deep into it.

I thought I had found someone special. But then, as it often happens, “THINGS FELL APART.” Now, I’m not the kind of person who runs at the first sign of trouble. I believe relationships need work, and I’m more than willing to put in the effort, especially if there’s no abuse involved. So, I tried. I held on, hoping things would get better. Then, things changed. Suddenly. It was like one day we were cool, and the next, he wasn’t the same person. He didn’t do the things he used to—things that once made me feel valued and appreciated. Even on my birthday, your girl sponsored her party with her money. However, he took me out to several ...

Never TEXT him first.

  Like seriously? I recently saw a video telling women not to out-communicate men, and I just sat there silent. These days, relationships feel like a game with a bunch of rules, and honestly, I can’t stand it. Why is it so hard to just be yourself? If getting excited when a man texts you is part of your personality, why suppress it? What’s meant for you will always find you. When you start playing these games, it messes with your emotions , and before you know it, you can’t even tell what feels right anymore. Some men can sense when you’re pretending, and they’ll start playing games too . So, who’s going to get hurt at the end of the day? Spoiler alert, it’s usually you. Be Yourself—Always Being yourself is the best thing you can do in any relationship. Let’s not forget, what’s yours will be. Stop worrying about appearing too eager, too laid-back , or whatever . The right person will meet you where you are, no mind games are needed. If texting first feels like you, do it. If not...
