The Situation

"He never lets me choose destinations"

The Brutal Truth

His inability to let you choose shows he values control over your happiness. It reveals a disregard for your preferences, treating you like a companion rather than an equal. This behavior undermines your autonomy and indicates a power imbalance in the relationship.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might accommodate his preferences to avoid conflict, sacrificing their desires in hopes of keeping him happy. This is wrong because it reinforces unhealthy dynamics and leaves you feeling unworthy of your own choices.

đź’­ Something to Reflect On

How does it feel to prioritize other people's desires over your own happiness, and what does that say about your self-worth?
