It should come NATURALLY for a man to want to have fun with you, take you out , feed you and do nice things for you. You should never have to teach someone to do that.
tolerating always turns into resentment. at first, you call it patience, then love. but what it really is, is self abandonment. every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. eventually, the bill comes due.
I'm starting to feel nothing for men no matter how they look or what they say. Liking them just takes so much from you and it's never worth the investment.
Resentment is like hypertension, it doesn’t show signs, it’s just there, growing, getting worse and one day it overflows making you act out of character without reason
If someone’s not meeting your needs, you shouldn’t have to complain more than twice. If they cross a boundary that is a non-negotiable for you, you should leave. Staying will only make you resent them and when it shows up, you become the toxic one
At this big age when people show signs of hidden animosity or weird energy, I just remove myself. I’m not trying to understand you and I’m not trying to make it make sense
normalize leaving people to avoid empathy burnout. yes, i love you, but i am tired of having to ask you to consider me, and i am tired of you not seeing where you went wrong.
