When helping your partner may actually be hurting them
love is respect
“At love is respect, we sometimes hear from people trying to “help” their partners make “smarter” choices “for their own good.” But when it comes to goals affecting a partner’s body, sometimes even well-intentioned behaviors can be unhealthy. You are not your partner’s parent, coach, doctor or therapist, and it would be unhealthy for your relationship to take on that sort of dynamic. In order to create real and lasting change, a person must be committed to working toward those new behaviors on their own.”
