Hesed Ojieh argues that love alone isn't enough reason to stay in an abusive relationship. Abuse doesn't become acceptable because you love someone, and trauma takes years to heal. He won't stay in relationships that don't help him grow.

Some people come with things that some people, they don't just need healing, they need to abstain from them. Love enough, love is not enough. Love is not strong enough to keep you in bondage. So because you love me, I'll allow you to abuse me when I know that the abuse would take years to be healed from. I'm not gonna do it. Don't do it. I can't be around anything that is not ready to make me glow or to make me go. This year I'm not doing that.
