And, you ALL DO realize, how this, is NOT L-O-V-E, right???
I’m scolding you, in the “name” of love (but I’m NOT your mother or father, I’m just your spouse!!!), and, even though, I’d become, verbally abusive (and of course I won’t admit that to myself!!!), I’ll manipulate you into believing, that what you did, was purely, and unadulteratedly EVIL, beyond forgiveness, and yet, I’d been, “kind enough”, to forgive you for it!
This, in case you hadn’t realized, IS manipulative, because this first individual IS guilt-tripping the second individual, and, as GUILT settled in, this originally F***ED up love becomes, even MORE F***ED up than ever, and yet, the one on the receiving end still can’t leave, because, s/he either is already STUPID enough, to buy into what this manipulative person is saying, or that s/he is too used to this form of interaction with her/his spouse, that it’d become, normal for her/him.
And, this doesn’t just happen in a couple’s relationship still, it ALSO and will keep on happening, in the relationship of parent and children, and who’s at fault??? Oh yeah, it’s YO mamas and daddies, unless, you’d become, all grown-up, passing this vicious cycle on down to your own young, and guess what’ll happen??? You guessed it, your own children will be more than likely, to pass this sort of SHIT down to THEIR own young too, unless they’re highly aware of themselves, which I’m betting, that there’s, a more-than-seventy-five-percent chance that they’re not!
