When Love starts to feel like a full-time job.

Okay sooo can we please talk about manipulative relationships?? Especially when a guy starts depending way too much emotionally on his girlfriend and it stops being cute and starts being exhausting.

Like at first it's all ''you're the only one who understands me'' and ''I don't know what I'd do without you'' and yeah sure, it feels like special. But then it turns to ''if you don't answer right away I feel abandoned'' or ''you don't love me as much as i love you'' every. single. time. you need a second for yourself.

It's like, I'm your girlfriend, not your therapist, not your emotional babysitter. I can support you, but I can't be the only thing holding your world together. That's not healthy. That's not love. That's pressure. Constant, overwhelming pressure.

And let's be real: sometimes that kind of emotional dependency is lowkey  manipulation. They'll make you feel guilty for wanting space, or accuse you of being cold if you're not constantly reassuring them. Suddenly, you're walking on eggshells because you don't want to hurt them... but you're the one slowly falling apart.

Girls deserve to feel supported too. We shouldn't have to sacrifice our peace just to keep someone else emotionally stable.

So if you're someone like this; It's okay to take a step back. It's okay to set boundaries. And it's definitely okay to leave if it's draining you more than loving you.

You can love someone and still choose yourself.
