The Man God Has For You by Stephan Labossiere (1)

Trait #2
His Will Love & Cherish You, Not Disrespect You
I know what you’re thinking … This should be obvious, “common sense.”
Unfortunately, common sense isn’t always so common. The fact is that a
lot of people, possibly you, are experiencing abusive and/or toxic
relationships. Relationships with men who exhibit negative and
disrespectful behavior. Even if you’re not currently in this situation, you
could be the person that believes you’d never deal with this type of
behavior. It’s unacceptable and it would never be you, and in the blink of
an eye, you’re in it and don’t know how to get out. It’s now a situation of
struggle. For various reasons, this may be a reflection of your upbringing
or other relationships, and believe it’s not as bad as it appears. However,
the fact remains, you have to be aware that any man who continues to
disrespect or mistreat you is not a man sent from God. Here’s why you
may not fully understand the issue.
It’s possible you were raised in a dysfunctional home. A lot of people
have been around negative, unhealthy, toxic behavior, and to some extent,
tried to normalize it; paint the picture as, this is just what happens in
relationships. When this environment is normalized, you don’t realize or
grasp how unhealthy it is. You begin to validate, rationalize, explain and
sweep it under the rug. What’s evident is that it’s a problem and shouldn’t
be dismissed.
Another reason why you may not grasp the issue is the lack of healthy
and happy examples of relationships. The lack of examples makes your
relationship appear as if it isn’t any worse than what the people around
you experience. Therefore, you believe you have it better off and it makes
you blind to what’s occurring. Not to mention, these issues more than
likely started way before you got into the relationship. Although some of
you may not be with anyone currently, you have to make note of the red
flags. Oftentimes, some women paint certain jealous or possessive
behaviors as acts of love.
