Summary
The actor in the relationship can fool the best of us. When you can't tell what's an act and what's real, you soon start to question your own sanity.
The actor doesn't love, they control. A real partner shows empathy and wants to see you happy. It's easy to tell the difference looking at it from the outside in, but sometimes impossible to see it while you're in it.
Love and Abuse is the official podcast of The M.E.A.N. Workbook on manipulation and emotional abuse at loveandabuse.com. #loveandabuse

| 1:09.6 | in relationships. |
| 1:18.4 | And when you don't have enough relationship experience, then you might end up falling for someone that can be unhealthy and be toxic for you. |
| 1:23.3 | Now, this isn't everyone. |
| 1:24.4 | I know people that have met in high school and they are each other's soulmates, |
| 1:29.4 | they would say. |

| 1:42.4 | with people that are unhealthy or toxic. Because you found someone |
| 1:46.0 | that you really relate to and you treat each other well and everything's healthy and good. |
| 1:52.0 | But what happens when you don't have enough experience or you've been in a couple or three or |
| 1:57.1 | four long-term relationships and then you meet someone that doesn't have your best interest |
| 2:02.3 | in mind. What do you do then? How do you know that you're in a bad relationship because your |
