“When somebody pulls away in a dynamic and we have this chaser and the chasey dynamic going on, if you have this in your dynamic at all, that is a setup for a toxic relationship. How you begin a relationship is how you're going to end a relationship. Love is a verb. Love is not a feeling. Infatuation is a stage of a relationship, but it's not love.”
