"Funny how the heart can be deceiving.
Why do we fall in love so easy, even when it's not right?"

When did the definition of love become ownership?
When did it become appropriate for one partner to control, possess, and manipulate 
the other and not think anything of it?
When did love stop being enjoyable?

So often these days relationships follow a dominate/subordinate power structure,
with one partner obtaining full control over the other,
controlling whom they associate with, what activities they partake in, and sometimes even their emotions.
This leaves the subordinate person without the ability to make their own decisions, or even have their own opinion.

Love should not be a struggle. If you find yourself spending more time upset or frustrated,
rather than happy, your significant other is not the right person for you.

Healthy relationships involve each individual having a life outside of the other person. 
Having their own hobbies, friends, and opinions.
Your partner should only ever lift you higher, not stifle your ability to be yourself and accomplish the things you want to.

If you find yourself constantly upset, and unhappy with your relationship GET OUT OF IT.
There is nothing worse than spending your time arguing and frustrated with someone, when there are so many other people out there.

If you find that your friends are constantly irritated after hearing about yet another fight
between you and your partner -- it might be time to recognize how unhealthy your relationship is.

If you find yourself making excusing for your partner, or not participating in activities you previously loved, GET OUT.

No one should ever tell you what to do or whom you can speak too.
Those are decisions you and only you can make for yourself.
Don't be blinde to an unhealthy relationship.
Take a moment and truly think about how you feel.
