Jealousy Relationship Games

Jealousy is often a complicated emotion, and for some people, it can act as a motivator to fight for a relationship they feel is being threatened. However, not everyone operates from that perspective. For someone like me, jealousy has never been a defining trait. It’s not in my nature to let insecurity or fear dictate my reactions or decisions. Instead, I believe in a love that is grounded in trust, respect, and mutual understanding.

To the man who tries to make me jealous: I don’t play that game. If our love is genuine and strong, there should be no need for manipulative tactics to test or strengthen it.

And for me, that’s a dealbreaker.… Read More Jealousy Relationship Games

When the bad overshadows the good

It’s an incredibly heavy weight to carry when the memories of hurt overshadow what should have been love and kindness. It’s not your fault, and it’s a testament to your strength that you’ve survived and taken steps toward healing.

Sometimes, abusive relationships have a way of eroding the good moments or making them feel tainted. Your brain prioritizes survival, so it clings to the negative experiences to protect you from being hurt again. That’s not a failure on your part—it’s your mind doing its best to shield you.… Read More When the bad overshadows the good

Conditional Love?

Love that is turned on and off depending on convenience or circumstance is often referred to as conditional love or transactional love. This type of love is typically based on certain terms, expectations, or benefits rather than a deep, enduring, and selfless connection. It might feel like love when things are going well, but when challenges arise, it can quickly disappear, leaving the other person feeling unsupported or devalued.… Read More Conditional Love?
