The Love Myth That’s Ruining Nigerian Relationships

I’ve seen too many relationships crash — mine included — because of one dangerous idea: “If they really love you, they’ll endure anything.” We twist “love is patient” into a licence for silent suffering. We believe love can force someone to change their red flags. We think leaving means you didn’t love hard enough. All of this traps people in toxic situations. Real love isn’t about how much pain you can handle. It’s built on mutual respect, honesty and a willingness to grow together. Walk away when you need to — sometimes that’s the strongest proof of self-love. What “love myth” did you have to unlearn? Share your story below!
