Love doesn't mean getting used to abuse, and honesty doesn't mean staying for nothing. As a society, we really need to understand disagreement is not the same as disrespect. And respect doesn't mean blind acceptance of everything someone says or does without question. We've romanticized the wrong things under love, loyalty, and respect for far too long. Be it partners, friends, or family, the label doesn't excuse patterns that quietly harm you. There has to be emotional safety, because without it, conflicts don't resolve, they multiply. Instead of being aware of themselves and their emotions, they expect your love to come with unlimited tolerance for their behavior. They demand that you change for them and even coach you like a trainee, while remaining emotionally unavailable. Maybe they themselves need a little training in accountability, rather than always having someone else to take the blame.
