How do you recognize it? After an abusive relationship this is how... I think it feels calm, normal, no extreme highs or lows but most of all it feels COMFORTABLE.

It is a cup of tea at home not a kiss in the rain.

Your heart shouldn't be racing because it is not a drug. You feel like you can be yourself. You feel seen. You feel safe.

Toxic relationships are often more charming and exciting but they leave you with a hole.

The right man would add new spaces into your life without taking away from those you worked so hard to create. The right man would see you even if you met under hard circumstances when you weren't at your best.

He will fight for you and the relationship and sometimes fighting means he will be protective of your relationship in advance...Avoiding what can cause strife or distrust at all costs.

It hurts him to see you hurt even if he disagrees with your opinion. It makes him happy to see you thrive.

Your body would feel at ease...You can Breathe for the first time because you have no tiger sharing your bed.

We KNOW secretly in our hearts when we don't trust our partner. Our body never lies.

When they tell you "listen to your heart" they should have told you...Make sure it is quite and peaceful.
