Are You Addicted to Struggle Love? 💔

Let’s talk about something real.

Why is it that some of the smartest, most successful women keep finding themselves in relationships that feel like projects instead of partnerships?

If you’ve ever thought:

🚩 “I just have to be patient—he’ll change.”

🚩 “He has potential, I just need to support him.”

🚩 “Love isn’t supposed to be easy, right?”

Then, sis, we need to talk about struggle love—and why you might be addicted to it without even realizing it.

What Is Struggle Love?

Struggle love is when you find yourself constantly building, fixing, or waiting for love to work. It’s when relationships feel like an unpaid internship instead of a partnership.

And the worst part? You convince yourself it’s normal.

Signs you might be caught in struggle love:

💔 You find yourself explaining why he’s a “good guy” even though his actions say otherwise.

💔 You’re constantly making excuses for his lack of effort.

💔 You’ve invested years into a man who still isn’t ready to commit.

💔 You feel like you’re working for love instead of experiencing love.

Why Do Smart Women Fall for Struggle Love?

1️⃣ You Were Taught That Love Requires Sacrifice

Maybe you grew up seeing women in your family endure relationships, not enjoy them. You learned that patience and struggle were just part of the process.

2️⃣ You Equate Effort with Love

You’ve worked hard for everything else in life—so why should love be any different?

3️⃣ You Feel Guilty for Wanting More

Deep down, you know you deserve better, but you don’t want to seem selfish or demanding.

Here’s the Truth: Healthy Love Shouldn’t Feel Like a Full-Time Job

Love requires work, but it should not be a constant battle.

The right relationship adds to your life—it doesn’t drain you.

How to Break Free from Struggle Love

💡 1. Stop Confusing Potential with Partnership

A man’s potential is not your responsibility. Choose someone based on who they are today.

💡 2. Let Go of the Fear That Healthy Love Will Be Boring

If you’ve only known struggle, peace can feel foreign. But peace is what you deserve.

💡 3. Ask Yourself: If My Best Friend Was Dating Him, What Would I Say?

Would you encourage her to stay? Or would you tell her to run? Take your own advice.
