Avoiding Toxic Relationships

In the previous edition, we discussed the position of the person who controls and who sometimes can be abusive and violent. In this edition, we focus on the person who feels controlled or abused. We explain the intention of the one who controls: to prevent the loss of the loved one. Because the person has difficulty trusting they deserve love, they are afraid of losing their partner and cannot trust in their love. This becomes a problem for the partner who, despite all the efforts to show love, is unable to reassure their insecure partner. In addition, receiving protests and accusations from their insecure partner causes them to react in ways that seem to suggest they don't love their partner. This creates a cycle that causes suffering to both partners.
