Do you stand up for your partner? Do they trust you to protect them? A true friend, keeps your secrets, watches your back and stands up for you when you're not around and stands beside you when you are.
Maybe it's easy to stand up for them with strangers, but what about when it's your own family or a close friend that's talking bad about your partner, what do you do then? Do you go along with it, sit there and say nothing, or do you speak up for them? Or what about your partner's family, do you stand by and let them talk down to them or push them around?
This is one of the most damaging situations in a relationship, being with someone who is too weak or afraid to stand up for you. How can your partner trust you if you don't protect them, or worse, betray them by joining in with criticizing them?
Your partner has opened their heart to you, allowed themselves to be vulnerable and share their pain, their fears, their hopes and dreams with you, you are the person that they should be able to trust the most. It's up to you to show them who you really are, show them that you are a person of integrity, a person with the courage to protect their dignity and their heart.
We all try to be tough, to be strong, but deep down, we all want to feel that someone has our back and will do whatever it takes to protect us. Courage is not the absence of fear, it's being afraid but doing what is right anyway. When you show your devotion by protecting the one you love, you earn their love, trust and loyalty.
(This post is not implying that you should protect an abuser or if a loved one is trying to help you get out of a toxic relationship. It's to encourage people in a healthy relationship to support each other better.)

A story doesn't exist unless it's Told.
This is your life. You may not be able to control all the things people do to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. You can decide not to let their actions and opinions invade your heart and mind. And above all, you can decide whom to walk beside into tomorrow, and whom to leave behind today.

"The Untold Stories."
If one day I stop communicating with you, don't worry, I don't hate you, maybe I got tired of catching your attention.
Literally asked for the bare minimum, and you made me feel like I was asking for too much.
I noticed, but I didn't say a thing, because I always try to understand even if it will hurt me.
Sorry. Im done.
‿ℒℴνℯ⁀💕 Abdullah

If someone wants you in their life, they will do anything to keep you in it.
And if they don't want you in their life, absolutely nothing you do or say will make them change their mind.
Stop trying. Do not beg anyone to want you. You are much more worthy than that.
Don’t let someone treat you badly just because you care about them.
It doesn’t matter if they are a friend, family member, or partner.
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve known them or how kind they’ve been in the past.
You have the right to call out their harmful behavior.
Set clear limits on what is and isn’t okay for you.
You can speak up about how their actions make you feel, and you’re allowed to share your experiences with others.
If needed, you also have the right to step back and create distance.
You have every right to say:
“I love you and I want you in my life, but I can’t keep allowing you to treat me this way. I won’t sacrifice my well-being to keep this relationship going.
If things don’t get better, I will have to end this relationship, not because I don’t care about you, but because I care about myself and deserve respect.”
