[YOU ≠ LOVE]

This is for those who are struggling in an abusive relationship and can’t stop questioning whether you’re right or wrong. STOP. You’re right, they don’t love you.

You,.. degrading her, that’s not love.

You,.. reminding her of all her weaknesses and flaws everyday, instead of being supportive, — that’s not love.

.

You,.. belittling all her insecurities and worries that has been on her mind forever, that’s not love.

You,.. laughing at those things that made her cried so bad, that’s not love.

.

You,.. being there only when it suits you and your needs,that’s not love — that’s you being selfish.

You,.. looking down on her for every achievements she made, comparing her to some unknown cute girl you follow on Instagram — because you know it would make her cry while thinking “why am never I good enough?”. That’s not love.

.

You,.. constantly gaslighting her everyday just to make her question her thoughts on the reality of you not being faithful to her, when she is confidently sure you’re not— that’s not love!

You,.. making her “walking on eggshells”, feelings scared and depressed — trying so hard not to “offend” you in any way. That’s not love.

That is ABUSE. That is you, manipulating her feelings and mind. She is torn apart between the reality and your so-called façade love. Those condescending comments you made about her, all those times she can’t spend time hanging-out with her best-friends and when she can’t even smile back at a stranger, without you calling her slut — but you are free to sleep with anyone. That is not LOVE.

Because love won’t make you question every single thing — it should make you feel safe,protected and secure.

Love, is everything and anything (in a good way) but, YOU. You are not capable of loving others or yourself and that, is your biggest loss and SHE IS SO DONE with you.
