When friend groups struggle to distinguish between difficult love and harmful relationships

My friend group has been debating whether one of our friends is in an emotionally abusive relationship or if she's just in a really intense, complicated love that the rest of us don't understand. She insists it's the deepest love she's ever known, but we see behavior that worries us, and we don't know how to tell the difference between challenging love and harmful love.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is grappling with the boundary between love that requires growth and dynamics that cause damage, while respecting their friend's agency to define her own experience.
