If your partner has ever asked you to give up something that means a lot to you, that person doesn’t love you and it’s time you realized
There are too many examples to explain what " love adds, it does not subtract " means here we are going to address 3 that will try to let you know when that person who is your partner is showing that he does not love you as unconditionally as he says, with the purpose of that you discover if that relationship you have is toxic.
Let’s go with the first example , at some point in life, you find a well-paid job, in your profession, doing what you like, the only problem is that it is in another city or country and you have a life made in the place where you are, you have that dream relationship that you presume proud, everything is indecision and suddenly the man takes a position: prevent you from leaving .
That man asks you to make a sacrifice for his love, so that they continue together and he promises to give you the life that you were going to have in that other place. But what is he going to do with the truncated dream ? Because it is part of your aspirations in life. Would you sacrifice everything for that love that perhaps, derived from that feeling of not having achieved that step of your dreams, begins to deteriorate?
Second example: your friends, coincidentally mostly of the opposite sex, are very close to you, but your partner doesn’t think you have such confident male friends, he asks you to make the sacrifice to keep his love and stop loving them. talk . Wouldn’t it be better if he learned to trust you and try to get along with them?
Third and last example and this is one of the most trivial that we can find, but which are the first "red flags" that we can detect in a toxic or manipulative person, it is about making you stop dressing or making up in a certain way , Because how are you going to go out in the heat with your favorite little skirt? Why do you wear red lipstick, what will people say?
Perhaps they seem like examples that in the first instance we say "my boyfriend is not like that", but suddenly we can come across these examples of someone who asks a lot and gives little, nobody should ask you for anything in exchange for love , you must understand that for love not you have to leave nothing, love adds and does not subtract.
