Life is full of choices. How a person treats another is also a choice. If they choose to cherish you, it means they chose you. It means they want you in their life. If they choose to mistreat you, it simply means they didn’t choose you. They don’t care if you stay or go. Be wise and leave.
All too often [people] believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love rightly we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is putting ourselves out of harm's way.
Giving your partner the silent treatment during a fight is a form of emotional abuse. They are not mature enough to handle their emotions correctly, therefore not ready for a stable relationship.
What if ELWE. Was the one. That gave birth. To Luthien?
The Ainur can’t give birth to elves/mortal/etc, they can only sire children. Something to do with an ainur having to keep 1 solid constant shape for months on end to carry a child to term, which they can’t really do as it’s against their nature, and that usually when they have to appear “elf-like” it’s more a disguise and not them actually altering their body to be more mortal(?) ig?
As a result Elwe was the one to get knocked up, and after Luthien he said “no more”.
And Luthien, as a result, calls Elwe mama, and Melian papa, but because most elves don’t know that Elwe was the mother, they always confused the two.
Luthien: Naneth(Elwe) is so kind and patient with me.
Elf: ah, Melian must be a gentle maia.
Luthien: Ada can be pretty cold at times.
Elf: Elwe should be kinder to his daughter.
It has created the biggest misunderstanding of all time, and only Elmo, Oropher, and a hand full of other elves knows that Elwe is the mother Luthien is always talking about.
"Manipulative and Toxic Behaviors Around Noemata and Sourcemates: Patterns of being manipulative in regard to their and other’s noemata (‘kin memories’), source, or ‘canonmates’. [For example:]
"The pattern of someone conveniently having or gaining headmates, kintypes, or noemata that match yours, especially if they claim to be ‘your version’. A type of ‘we are specially connected so you can trust me’ gambit.
"Claiming to have known other people in a past life, often out of the blue and without much evidence they seem to be basing this claim on.
"Claiming they can scry for or otherwise tell someone their kintypes or help them recover noemata. Especially if they don’t know who they are doing this for very well or if they request the person does something for them.
"Frequent ‘sourcemate seeking’, wherein they are looking for ‘their x’ a lot and often have a pattern of making friends with every alterhuman with that kintype and then later ‘dropping’ them.
"Insisting on recreating the dynamics of a relationship (positive or negative) from a source or past life once more despite having just met them recently. Especially if it seems to be solely based on this connection instead of current chemistry.
"Making moral judgements based on alterhuman identity or noemata (ex- claiming that all villain fictionkind are inherently bad people).
"Inability to draw boundaries between them and their source material such as policing or otherwise attacking fandom on what headcanons, aus, or ships are ‘allowed’ of their kintype, or otherwise claiming malicious intent of anyone who views their fictional source differently from them. Insisting fandom has to listen to the because they are ‘the real x’."

No, I'm not ok. But I haven't been ok since I was 11, maybe 12. I am still here though. I'm still breathing. For me, sometimes, that will have to be enough.
Reverse projection is when a person tries to project their own good qualities onto another, usually someone who is abusive to them, because your pure heart wants to see that person as you yourself are. It’s the curse of the empath. For your own mental health, don’t ignore red flags no matter how much you love the person. It only prolongs the inevitable.
