Here are three things you should never do in the name of love:
1. Sacrifice your happiness. Falling in love does nothing to negate your need to be happy about yourself and what you do. Do not replace your happiness with which pleases your girlfriend or boyfriend. It is easy to replace a human being but difficult when you try to fill a vacuum in your heart whose contents you had emptied to someone else who has finally disappeared or does not care about you anymore.
2. Get pregnant. It does not matter how many times he says he loves you; NEVER EVER become pregnant for him unless you are the kind that tries to tie men with a baby in which case you are a special case. But in a conventional relationship, never assume that as much as you want a baby, he wants to be a dad or assume that since he has already pronounced his love for you, getting pregnant quietly is the best surprise you can give him.
You might be in for a rude shock of losing the love of your life. A child comes with a responsibility and a man may love you but would not at any immediate time be ready for such kind of a responsibility.
3. Manipulation. Has he called you with inconveniencing demands such as inviting you over for a weekend party despite having a busy schedule? And when you decline inquisitive statements like ‘I thought you loved spending time with me’ or ‘I never knew I was last in the list of your priorities’ come up? This is manipulation. True love understands when possibilities are possible. Do not let him find an open lid to lift at any befitting time. If he loves and respects you that much, then he should at least respect your decisions.
