They say love is worth fighting for, but never allow yourself to be their punch bag!
Yes, love is intricate and it's easy to allow those who you love to get away with more than those who you don't. But who does this benefit? Not you, nor them! They feel superior, you feel inferior. So where's the balance in the relationship?
If someone intentionally wants to hurt you, they ultimately want power over you. They may slander you or portray you in a different light to what others know you to be or outright lie about you, just to make others think better of them and worse about you. If they think this is really necessary, then this is their weakness and you need to recognise this..
You love them, you want the best for them. You want them to love you as you love them. You wouldn't dream of slandering them, belittling them, betraying them and making them feel unworthy. You can't believe or understand the way they treat you. You keep striving to be in their life...all in the name of love.
But nothing changes. No reconciling. No explanation. The relationship drifts apart.
You feel devastated, heartbroken and abandoned.
DON'T BE!
You deserve so much more, so much better. It doesn't matter who they are...family, friend, partner or whoever. You know yourself better than they do. You know you didn't deserve how they treated you. They disrespected you the moment they chose to betray you or turn against you. You know you are strong despite how they have made you feel weak and insecure.
Stop giving yourself in the name of love!
