They do not want what’s best for you
Feel like things are being forced in your relationship? It might be a sign that they don’t want what’s best for you.

When we fall for someone or bring them into our closest circles, it can be hard to see their true intentions. We want to see the best in people. Especially those who we care for, but that’s not always reality. Sometimes, the people that we love control us, manipulate us, or otherwise force us down paths we don’t want to walk. Though they promise to hold our best interests at heart, however, these are not people who truly respect us. And they’re certainly not people who want the best for us.
To truly wish for someone’s happiness is to encourage and support their authenticity. Loving someone does not entail coercing them or terrorizing them into change. It doesn’t require manipulation, or shaping them down into someone that they aren’t. We have to learn to tell the difference between someone who truly loves us, and someone who only wants to use us for their own gain? Does your partner or spouse truly want the best for you? Only you can spot the signs in time.
