NO!! You're cheating yourself if you keep lying to your heart that this is love. You, as all of us do, deserve true love with someone who truly loves you.

And love wants the best, believes the best, supports and nourishes, walks alongside - does not control or belittle or judge ...

It's understandable that you have fears, but you don't have to let them control you or trap you either. Be true to yourself in spite of your fears. Don't be tricked by them or by a cowardly person's threats. You are worthy of being true to yourself.
