CONTROL IS NOT LOVE.
Let's stop romanticizing behaviors that restrict another person's freedom.
Jealousy is not proof of devotion.
Monitoring someone's phone is not intimacy.
Isolation is not protection.
Financial control is not partnership.
Punishing someone for setting boundaries is not love.
And making someone afraid to disagree with you is not a sign of a strong relationship.
Love does not require you to surrender your autonomy.
Healthy relationships allow room for boundaries, independence, privacy, disagreement, and individual identity.
Abuse is not always physical. Sometimes control becomes so normalized that you start questioning whether you're asking for too much simply by wanting to make your own decisions.
You're not property. You're not someone's possession. And you do not owe anyone unlimited access to yourself just because you're in a relationship.
If you have to keep abandoning yourself to keep someone else, it's time to pay attention to what that relationship is costing you.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Let's talk about the patterns that deserve to be recognized, not romanticized.
