Love and Huguely's Relationship
Love and Huguely met their freshman year and had been dating on and off for approximately two years. The two were frequently seen spending time with each other and in the company of their teammates. Reports have stated that Huguely exhibited aggressive behaviors towards Love that included physical and emotional abuse. Friends of Love have also reported that she received threatening messages from Huguely and that she had received death threats prior to her murder. According to former lacrosse teammates, Huguely physically assaulted a teammate after hearing that he kissed Love.

On May 8, 2012, non-jurors for the first time were able to see George Huguely in a 64-minute video in which he was told of Yeardley Love's death. As he was interrogated by police, Huguely admitted, "I may have grabbed her neck" and "maybe I shook her a little bit." Huguely then retells the argument and fight that happened in Love's bedroom, demonstrating how he shook her and kicked her door. Eventually, the detective informs Huguely that Love is dead. Huguely reacts in disbelief and says "Kill me." Because of the raw emotions seen in this tape, the jury was convinced that Love's murder was not premeditated.

More than four years after Huguely was sent to prison, his mother Marta Murphy spoke out. Murphy said that her son should have been convicted of a lesser charge and face less prison time as the murder was a "drunken accident." Murphy concluded that Huguely had no intent to murder Love and that Love's death was caused by injuries sustained from falling off the bed. Marta Murphy waited to speak out in respect for Love's family. Murphy believes that the criminal justice system has proven to be wrong and did not come to the correct verdict concerning her son.

One Love Foundation
Currently, the One Love Foundation has educated around 1 million young people on the signs of an unhealthy relationship and how to have healthy love. The purpose of the One Love Foundation is to improve the relationship health of the next generation. One Love Foundation pairs fictional films with discussions between peers as a way to educate young people on the signs of unhealthy and healthy relationships. By the end of March 2020, One Love will reveal their online platform that works to teach people about the warning signs of relationship violence. One Love Foundation works with schools and communities across the United States and they look forward to growing their program to educate more young people.

In 2014, the One Love Foundation showed their film called Escalation to baseball and lacrosse players at the University of Jacksonville. After watching this short film, the student-athletes at the University of Jacksonville had a discussion. Since then, many other universities and colleges have required their student-athletes to complete this workshop that encompasses watching a film and having a discussion. The One Love Foundation is looking to expand to more colleges across the country to make their workshops about relationship violence mandatory to all student-athletes. Since 2016, the One Love Foundation has also been partnered with the NFL.

Signs of an unhealthy relationship
The One Love Foundation focuses on educating young people on the signs of an unhealthy relationship. An unhealthy relationship consists of a sense of possessiveness where one person in the relationship is so jealous to the point that they try to control the other person. Another sign of an unhealthy relationship is isolation which is when one person in the relationship is kept away from their family and friends. Some other signs to look for that point to an unhealthy relationship is when there is constant belittling, guiltiness, and betrayal. If you notice these signs in your relationship or in someone else's relationship, be sure to take action and get help.
