Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

It's not love if they don't have the patience to wait for you.

It's not love if they make you feel like a worthless piece of shit.

It's not love if they don't try and understand the situation and immediately jump to the worst conclusions.

It's not love if they say that they're better than you, so they get to do what they want and decide what you get to do.

It's not love if they cuss at you constantly when they are upset with the situation.

It's not love when they say that they're worried about being with you because of how it will affect them.

It's not love if they can go from happy to never wanting to talk to you in a span of a few hours.

It's not love if they hold mistakes from years ago over your head today.

It's not love if they demonize you at every turn and never want to listen to your side of the story.

It's not love if they're not willing to work at resolving differences.

It's not love if they don't trust you, and don't want to.

It's not love if they don't hope for the best.

It's not love if they tell you it won't last long, and plan to end it themselves.
