You might be wondering why all I talk
about is love. Well, this is the month of love; finding love, rekindling love,
growing love, blossoming love, sharing love. It’s all about love!
Then why is love not enough? We tend to
weave dreams around us, we live and believe in these dreams, but when reality
kicks in, then we find out that love is never enough.
It’s not wrong to dream. What is wrong
is ignoring reality and grasping straws when it is evident that you are only
deceiving yourself.
You meet a new person, who sweeps you
off your feet, he is romantic, tells you sweet nothings, dines you, spends time
with you. Oh! What a dream come true!
He takes you on a romantic getaway on a
weekend, you are in the heavens. He fights the driver on the way over #100
change and you help him create an excuse for that. He doesn’t want to be
cheated.
He beats up his sister over a gown he
bought for you, which the sister took because she likes it. You say, he is only
protecting my interest.
He slapped you around because he met a
guy in your house and didn’t believe that the guy is only a friend. You say, I
should know better than to have a male friend.
You ignored all the warning signs. You
say, I love him.
Hello Sis, LOVE IS NOT AND NEVER ENOUGH
TO GET ABUSED OVER!
Please wake up! He is violent and will
never change. You will always find an excuse for every abuse you receive in
that relationship. Love is not the only factor you use to determine or choose a
partner. Love is not violent.
You need to sit down and ponder over
exactly what you want in your dream man. Don’t settle for less. An abusive
relationship is not healthy.
