VIVA LA RESISTANCE
[Psychology]
September 27, 2024
The harsh truth about healthy relationships is that if you are ready to forgive your partner absolutely everything, it’s not love, but dependence. In the union of psychologically mature people, there are always red lines that cannot be crossed under any circumstances. Forgiving the unforgivable means not respecting either yourself or your partner. People raised on the 'myth of love' find it hard to understand this, as one of its tenets is that suffering is an indispensable part of 'true feelings'. That’s why they can’t build happy long-term relationships.
