Listen to your intuition. If it doesn’t feel right walk away. We are all whole people. We do not need another to validate us. A relationship should be based on mutual respect, trust, and love. You want to make the other happy and they want to do the same for you. It is an equal partnership. You do not have to ‘save’ anyone and be on the receiving end of abuse — be it verbal, non-verbal, or physical. It will always wear you down and damage your self-esteem. You owe it to yourself to seek a life of happiness and love. It is there for us all, so be brave and step out of a negative, toxic environment and into one of positivity and light that you are capable of creating.
