💖 What Love Actually Feels Like Now



✨ What I Thought Love Was vs. What It Actually Feels Like Now ✨
(A personal journey from imbalance to emotional safety.)


What I Thought Love Was:

  • Doing everything and still being told it’s not enough
  • Walking on eggshells to keep the peace
  • Being blamed, criticised, or put down
  • Paying half — but carrying 90% of the work
  • Being degraded or having my family mocked
  • Giving until I was empty
  • Surviving, not thriving

What Love Actually Feels Like Now:

  • Being cooked for and pampered without having to beg for it
  • Sharing chores and making a home together
  • Gentle words, kind eyes, warm hands
  • No insults, no shaming, no control
  • My family is respected, not resented
  • Intimacy is safe, not pressured
  • My nervous system is finally resting


Love used to feel like a job I could never clock out of.
Now it feels like a place I can exhale into. 🌿
Where I am cared for, cherished, and seen.


To the woman still carrying 90%:
You are not asking for too much.
You are simply asking the wrong person.
You deserve shared effort, soft love, and emotional safety.
And it’s not only possible — it’s waiting.


Share this if you’re reclaiming what real love feels like. 💫

You don’t have to settle for emotional crumbs ever again.
