Love means accepting each other for who you are, quirks and all. If she’s asking you to change fundamental aspects of yourself – be it your looks, interests, or values – it might not be love driving those requests.
A partner who loves you will encourage growth, not insist on altering your identity.
- Isolating you from loved ones
Requests to cut off ties with friends or family should raise alarm bells. A loving relationship will integrate into your existing life, not demand exclusivity at the expense of your other relationships. Isolation is a control tactic, not a sign of affection.
- Demanding transport money before visiting
When she insists on receiving transport money every time she plans to visit, it might indicate that her interest lies more in the convenience you offer than in spending quality time together.
While it’s understandable to share expenses, consistently treating visits as transactions can reflect a lack of genuine commitment and affection.
