Healthy Relationships Make Your World Bigger, Not Smaller

A relationship that's good for you opens doors -- new people, new interests, new parts of yourself you didn't know were there. If someone's presence in your life is slowly shrinking your world -- fewer friends, fewer hobbies, less confidence -- that's not love being protective, that's control wearing love's mask. Pay attention to whether you're expanding or contracting. The answer tells you almost everything you need to know.
