"Prove that you love" - ​​many of us have probably already heard this phrase. Before we get into the debate about whether this is normal or weird, it's worth understanding the essence of this request. When you are told to “prove that you love”, there is an understanding that something unusual is expected of you. Maybe you are being asked to do something that others couldn't do. However, such requirements may cause doubts and misunderstanding. The first thing to understand is your own attitude towards such a request. How does it make you feel? Are you ready to do it or does it seem excessive to you? It is important to remember that everyone has the right to their own boundaries, and no one is obliged to go beyond their comfort for the sake of someone else's requests. Often such a request can be made to a partner in a relationship. Perhaps your partner suffers from a lack of confidence in your love, so he asks for confirmation. Feelings of insecurity from past relationships or negative experiences may be reasons for this behavior. For such people, not only words are important, but also actions that confirm their value in a partnership. Strange requests reflect deep psychological reasons. They are often associated with a lack of confidence in one's own worth, fear of rejection or loss. Wrong beliefs developed throughout life push some people to be demanding and strange in relationships. What to do in a situation when you are asked to do something unusual to prove love? What should you pay attention to? Don't ignore your feelings. If the request makes you feel negative or violates your boundaries, talk to your partner about it. Find out the reasons for the request. Support your partner and try to understand where his doubts about your love come from. Discuss alternative ways to confirm your love. Offer other methods of proof - something that will be comfortable and acceptable for both of you. Don’t forget about yourself. It is important to remember that there must be balance in a relationship. You don't have to always satisfy someone's abnormal requests. Contact a specialist. If such requests become constant and cause serious problems in relationships, you should seek help from a psychologist. A specialist will help you understand the reasons for this behavior and find ways to constructively resolve problems. And although it should be understood that each person is unique and has his own understanding of the manifestation of love. But! However, it is also important that no one is obliged to violate their boundaries or do unusual things to prove their love. Mutual respect and understanding are the basis of a healthy and happy relationship. Join: https://t.me/olgamanzhina
