How to recognize a relationship that will ruin your life?

My precious… Approach.

Read this with your heart, not just with your eyes.

A relationship that will break you never starts with a slap.

It begins with a tiny signal that your soul notices but your heart wants to ignore.

It's subtle. It's gentle. Then it becomes an invisible prison.

A relationship that destroys you begins when:

You apologize for having existed.

You're walking on eggshells in your own house.

You take back your words so as not to trigger his.

You make yourself small so as not to disturb anyone.

You're getting lost... one millimeter at a time.

You wake up one morning and realize you no longer know who you are.

Toxicity doesn't arrive like a thunderstorm.
It arrives like a drizzle… silent… which ends up drowning your sun.

💔 And remember this:

If you have to beg to be respected: that's not love.

If you have to beg to be respected: that's not love.

If you have to suffer to be accepted: that is NOT love.

You deserve a love that *opens, not a love that *closes*.
A love that uplifts, not a love that buries.
A love that protects, not a love that punishes.

👑 My precious… your life is precious.

Do not entrust it again to hands that have not learned to handle fragility.

💬 Write simply, with courage:

"I choose peace."

This is your first door. Your first liberation. Your first victory.

And if you want to learn to recognize, understand, heal and NEVER return to destructive relationships, the R.E.V.E. program is there to support you.
Pas pour te réparer mais pour te faire renaître.

🌹 Remember: everything is already within you.
🌅 Smile at life… and life will smile back at you.
