I see so many “you need to love yourself” comments on posts about women talking about their bad relationships or women who have even noted they are leaving the relationship...

I think you can love yourself but still be wound to a bad relationship. Individuals are not typically just toxic all around, it’s not always black and white, especially to a person who has feelings for that individual. (This is excluding physical abuse or cheating, those things are always clear that you should leave). That’s why they come here for advice and support. Because they do love themselves, they’re not sitting there thinking they are being treated like a queen when they’re not, but leaving someone you love is hard. Leaving what you thought was going to be your future is hard. Not knowing if the relationship could be mended but deciding to just give up on it and leave is hard. None of that equates to not loving yourself.

I don’t know I personally don’t think telling someone you don’t even know that they need to love themselves is something that should be said.

What’s your thoughts on it?

*I love these comments, different outlooks I didn’t think about! I guess maybe people should just word it differently 😂 I like the “love yourself more” that would be more uplifting to everyone I’m sure!
