A Self-Love Blog*The Truth About Struggle Love: Co-Dependent Relationships

Do you find yourself in a relationship where you feel like you are constantly giving and not getting anything back? Are you always the one who is making compromises while your partner seems to get their way without any effort? If so, then you might be involved in a struggle love relationship. Struggle love is a co-dependent relationship. The dynamics of the relationship is when one person wants to fix their partner. Normally it is a woman who carries the weight of the relationship while her partner disrespects her and does not treat her like she deserves.

I have realized that our society loves to glorify struggle especially when it comes to love, specifically in the black community. We have celebrities like Beyonce and Jay Z (who I love) acting like Bonnie and Clyde. And unfortunately, these are not the only two who encourage dysfunctional, toxic relationships. There are plenty of women who are or have been in abusive relationships and when you ask them why they stayed, the response was always “I love him.” This is an unfortunate response because they are saying that they love their man more than they love themselves. At the end of the day, we have to understand that love just isn’t good enough in circumstances of abuse and poor treatment. We as a society have to stop normalizing dysfunctional and this horrible dynamic of struggle love.

Those in this kind of relationship need to know that it is okay to walk away. No one is obligated to stay in a situation that is not healthy for you emotionally or physically. I understand that it can be hard to let go, especially if you have invested so much time and energy into the relationship. But trust me when I say that it is not worth it to stay in a situation where you are not valued and appreciated.

If you find yourself in a struggle love relationship, it is important to realize that you are not responsible for fixing your partner. No matter how much you want to help them, they need to be willing to help themselves. Otherwise, the relationship will never improve. You also need to focus on taking care of yourself. Make sure that you are getting the love and respect that you deserve. Otherwise, you will never be truly happy in the relationship.

Co-dependent relationships

Co-dependent relationships can be harmful because they often involve one person sacrificing their own needs for the sake of their partner. This can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration. In addition, co-dependent relationships often involve a loss of independence, as well as a feeling of being trapped. If you find yourself in a co-dependent relationship, it is important to work on establishing boundaries. This means learning to say “no” when you need to and setting aside time for yourself. It is also important to communicate your needs to your partner. If they are unwilling or unable to meet your needs, then the relationship may not be healthy for you. Co-dependent relationships can be improved by both parties working on themselves and their communication. It is also important to have realistic expectations for the relationship. If you are in a co-dependent relationship, remember that you are not responsible for fixing your partner. Ultimately, they need to be willing to help themselves in order for the relationship to improve.

Stop Settling In For Struggle Love

A woman should stop settling for struggle in a relationship because she deserves to be treated with love and respect. She should not have to sacrifice her own needs for the sake of her partner. In addition, a woman should not feel trapped in a relationship. If she is not getting the love and respect that she deserves, then she should walk away. A woman should also remember that she is not responsible for fixing her partner. If they are unwilling or unable to help themselves, then the relationship is not likely to improve. Ultimately, a woman should stop settling for struggle in a relationship because she deserves to be happy. If the relationship is not making her happy, then she should walk away.

Struggle Love Is A One-Sided Relationship

One-sided relationships are not beneficial for either person because they involve one person sacrificing their own needs for the sake of their partner. This can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration. In addition, one-sided relationships often involve a loss of independence, as well as a feeling of being trapped. If you find yourself in a one-sided relationship, it is important to work on establishing boundaries. This means learning to say “no” when you need to and setting aside time for yourself. It is also important to communicate your needs to your partner. If they are unwilling or unable to meet your needs, then the relationship may not be healthy for you. One-sided relationships can be improved by both parties working on themselves and their communication. It is also important to have realistic expectations for the relationship. If you’re in a one-sided relationship, keep in mind that you aren’t required to make things better. They must be ready to help themselves before the relationship can improve.
