The Situation

"He makes all the decisions in the relationship"

The Brutal Truth

He's asserting control over you, disregarding your needs and preferences. This behavior shows he prioritizes his desires over a partnership. It’s a power play, not love, and it erodes your autonomy.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

If you’re anxious, you might go along with his decisions to keep the peace, believing it’ll make him love you more. But this undermines your self-worth and fosters resentment instead.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What would it feel like to be in a relationship where your voice and desires matter just as much as his?
