I am nurturing my mind, my body and my soul right now and this piece definitely resonated with me. I have discovered that I settled a lot in my past relationships and it was mainly because I didn't love myself enough to want better for me. I know self-love is not the focus of your article, but I discovered that my lack of self-love led me to accept struggle love.

We do deserve healthy loving relationships so if that is not what I am presented with, I will reject it. Lucky for me I have a few struggle relationships to use as reference, lol.

Thank you for writing this piece Allison. Society does not help with this plight. We deserve more than struggle love.
