Let’s rip off the Band-Aid, shall we? Infidelity, emotional cheating, and pornography use aren’t just "mistakes" or "oopsies." They’re forms of abuse. Yep, I said it. Abuse. Not the kind that leaves a visible bruise, but the kind that slices straight through trust, security, and emotional well-being—like a ninja, but less cool.
Why Is This Abuse?
Because it violates the very foundation of what a relationship is supposed to be: a safe space. When your partner sneaks around emotionally or physically, or dives into the black hole of explicit content, it chips away at your sense of safety. Imagine living in a house where you’re not sure the floorboards won’t collapse. Same concept.
The Right to Safety
Here’s a radical thought—you have the right to feel safe in your relationship. Crazy, huh? Emotional safety isn’t a luxury; it’s the bare minimum. If you’re constantly on edge, wondering if your partner’s "late night work calls" are code for "I’m emotionally investing in someone else," that’s not love. That’s emotional whiplash.

Boundaries and Consequences: Not Just for Toddlers
Setting boundaries isn’t petty; it’s essential. And guess what? Boundaries without consequences are like decaf coffee—what’s the point? If your partner violates your trust, there should be clear, non-negotiable consequences. Think of it like this: If someone kept stealing your lunch from the office fridge, would you just keep bringing more lunches? No, you’d label it, maybe add a passive-aggressive note, or invest in a lunchbox with a padlock. Your heart deserves the same level of security.
