Keep language neutral. While the bulk of the blame for a one-sided relationship often falls disproportionately on one side, resist the urge to point fingers. I was never a fan of the K9 family one bit. Growing up as life-stylers in rural Southland in the seventies was a bit different. There's a distinct line between loving someone through the hardships vs. That's because the secret to feeling loved by someone else is loving yourself. No woman can resist such things. Being in love is one of the greatest things in the world, as anyone who has experienced it can tell you. Make no mistake, breaking off a one-sided relationship can be painful for both sides. These toxic controllers want you to make virtually every decision for them, from where to go to dinner to what car to buy. My bike is cheap to run, fun to ride and I can park it anywhere I want and it won't cost me a red cent.
