5 Things You Should Never Do Out of Love (It’s Toxic)!
Falling in love with someone can happen very quickly. We don’t always even realize when it’s happening, but it happens and we lose our heads. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by emotions and it can be hard to tell if it’s true love or if we’re just losing ourselves and being under the influence of hormones. It’s important to know that there are some things you should never compromise on. No matter how good they may seem at first glance.
Here are five things you should never do out of love:
Change yourself
What’s the point of someone falling in love with you if they don’t love the real you? It’s okay to work on yourself to be the best version of yourself you can be, but you want to stay true to yourself, right?
It’s natural to want to make a good impression on someone, but you shouldn’t create a different persona. That persona won’t be you; it’ll be a parody of you. Compromising your morals or changing certain aspects of yourself will only complicate things.
Finding someone who loves you for who you are is the only sure way to find true love. Be yourself!
Give up on a dream
One of the common mistakes is to give up on a dream to pursue or build a relationship. When all your time and effort are focused solely on one person, it can be easy to lose yourself.
Often, giving up personal goals can cause resentment towards your partner. True love will support your goals and hobbies and will never make you sacrifice them. If everything is completely different in your relationship, then maybe you should think about whether your partner truly loves you. Love will not manipulate and deprive you of desires; it will support and motivate you.
Putting relationships with friends or family on the back burner
In a romantic relationship, it can be easy to focus on the relationship and let other important people fall by the wayside. But is that the right thing to do?
Relationships become toxic when you have a controlling partner who tries to limit your time with your family or friends. You should not give in to their opinions on this matter; it cannot be done out of love.
Spending quality time together and apart is essential to a healthy relationship. Whether your partner is pushing you away or you don’t realize it, you can take a step back and evaluate your ENTIRE relationship.
Not valuing yourself
If you love someone and they treat you like their doormat because they know they can do it, then it might be time to leave.
Sometimes partners take advantage of the love and kindness of others. You don’t want to feel like you have to please someone 24/7 and belittle yourself in the process. In true love, you are a team, and you want to receive as much love and respect as you give. It should be mutual.
Hurt others to get what you want.
When someone asks you to change, “be different,” or makes empty promises, it can be a dangerous warning sign. It’s a toxic relationship, and you need to get out of it.
Is someone openly taking advantage of your feelings for them and asking you to hurt someone else? Hold your ground and don’t give in to persuasion, arguments, or manipulation. You should never do what you think is wrong in the hopes of your partner’s approval. Do what you think is right.
