DON'T SUFFOCATE YOUR LOVER!

Another reminder, boys and girls: NEVER SUFFOCATE YOUR LOVER.

Suffocation can kill your relationship, no matter how deeply and sincerely your lover loves you.

Suffocation is a manifestation of distrust and manipulation, or dictatorship.

You want things done your way. You don’t treat your lover as a partner, as a human. You treat him or her like a slave, a puppet, or a robot which moves only on your orders or liking.

Believe me, people, even the martyrs among martyrs wouldn’t want to be in that situation forever.

You’re suffocating your lover if:

You demand calls every hour by the hour whenever you’re not together.

You want to know each and every move or place he or she had made or had been to before you meet up for the day.

You call him or her unexpectedly anytime you feel like it and regardless of what he or she is doing.

You openly get jealous and mad whenever your lover socializes and gets to be friendly or sweet with members of the opposite sex.

You forbid him or her from going out alone with friends, even if there’s a special occasion, and give your permission only on the condition that you’ll tag along.

The only times you allow him or her to be alone is at home or at work.

You still require him or her to be with you before or after attending to family emergencies or celebrations.

You ask for the phone number and address of wherever he or she is supposedly engaged in a business meeting or affair, and call to verify.

You express doubt every time he or she informs you of an out-of-town, job-related trip and asks for ALL DETAILS, as in EVERYTHING.

You interfere or try to insist on what you prefer for the clothes or accessories he or she will wear or use instead of leaving it up to him or her.

Once your partner has had it and ends the affair, you will be the bigger looser. You will loose true love, one of the rarest gems anyone can find anywhere in the world.

The choice is yours. 30
