Tough Love
Another version of "being cruel to be kind".

Example:
Leo-"I'm gonna ask that girl out on a date"
Chris-"You'd be wasting your time, you are ugly, overweight and suffer severely from B.O. and thats just your good points, take it from me, she will reject you, maybe not straight away, perhaps she will rinse your bank account first, but you have no future with that girl, I'm sorry mate the writing is on the wall"
Leo-"Harsh words, but priceless advice, I guess thats what they call tough love"
Chris-"It sure is, look it up on the Urban dictionary, on second thoughts, you better not"


Tough love
Tough love is not going around trying show people how heavy handed you are, people who do that are bullshit. Tough love comes from the same thing compassion comes from, the difference is tough love doesn't take it easy on anybody.

Tough Love
This phrase was coined by Bill Milliken when he published the book of the same name in 1968 and revised it with Char Meredith in 1971.

It has become widely used and copied with numerous authors writing books of the same title or employing the phrase in their title. It occurs frequently in the news as well.

The phrase refers to the practice of setting boundries for children.
Example:
Mom: She is staying out all night and her friends are drinking heavily. I am worried about her.

Dad: You just have to use tough love and ground her until she has time to see how ill advised her choices really are.


Tough love
Tough love gets things done.
Example:
Yesterday, they whined about tough love being abusive and how the guy should be more supportive. Today, they thought doing things in a kinder, gentler way was too weak, and that the guy failed them for lack of tough love.
