If you've ever said, "But I love him" to excuse disrespect or worse, this episode of Medusa's Mic may provide some insights about how you reached that point.
Toxic rom-com storylines, destructive celebrity role models, outdated societal norms and dysfunctional family patterns can shape our ideas about love and our thinking about what relationships should look like. Unhealthy love behaviours become normalised and unconsciously mold our expectations.
This doesn't help us achieve the beautiful love relationships we all deserve and desire.
We are conditioned to view his behaviours through our lens of love (how we feel). But if we want healthy love connections, we need to stop saying, "But I love him" and instead ask, "Is he showing love towards me?"
