Love is to Be Pampered, Not to Be Manhandled

Love is one of the most beautiful emotions we experience as human beings. At its core, love is meant to be nurturing, gentle, and uplifting. It is a space where vulnerability is safe, where two people can grow together with trust and affection. Unfortunately, in some relationships, love becomes confused with control, dominance, or even abuse—emotional or physical. This distortion turns something meant to bring joy into a source of pain.


To truly love someone is to cherish them, not to change or control them. Pampering in love doesn't mean material gifts or grand gestures—though those can be sweet—it means patience, kindness, and showing up with understanding. It's about listening without judgment, supporting without conditions, and respecting boundaries without resentment. It's about being someone’s safe haven, not their battlefield.


Manhandling, in any form, has no place in real love. Whether it’s raising your voice, manipulating emotions, or disregarding someone's feelings, these are signs of disrespect, not passion. Love doesn’t need to hurt to be real. It thrives in peace, not power struggles.


We must unlearn the idea that love is supposed to be a rollercoaster of drama. True love is tender. It involves effort, but not suffering. It needs compromise, not sacrifice of self. When we pamper love—when we water it gently—it blooms. But if we manhandle it, we risk crushing its very essence.


So let’s learn to love better. Let’s protect, not possess. Let’s comfort, not control. Love deserves softness, not scars.

Here, we explore the different external influences that can play a crucial role in shaping and sustaining a relationship. 1.

Beware of Those Who Easily Break Down in Tears to Prove Their Love

Beware of Those Who Easily Break Down in Tears to Prove Their Love In a world where emotional expression is often seen as a sign of sincerity, it’s easy to mistake tears for truth. But not all displays of emotion are rooted in love — and not all who cry for you are truly crying for you. There are people who have mastered the art of emotional performance. They weep, plead, and dramatically display their feelings — not always out of genuine affection, but sometimes as a way to manipulate, control, or guilt others into submission. Tears, after all, are powerful. They can disarm, distract, and override reason. True love is shown in actions, not just in visible emotion. It’s in consistency, respect, sacrifice, and effort. Real love may shed tears too, but it doesn’t rely on theatrics to prove its worth. When someone breaks down at every disagreement, or weeps every time they are questioned, it’s worth pausing to reflect: is this an honest reaction, or a tactic to silence your voice and win...
