No woman leaves a man simply because he’s broke.
She leaves when she feels disrespected, unappreciated, and unloved.
Money isn’t what keeps a woman. Respect, honesty, effort, and genuine love are.
Maybe I didn’t deserve to be lied to or betrayed but I did ignore the way I was being treated. That’s the part I have to take responsibility for, and it’s a lesson I’ll never forget.
‘You didn’t deserve that.’
But the truth is, I did. I stayed even when I knew I was losing my self-respect. I knew I should have walked away, but I wanted us to work so badly that I kept choosing hope over myself.
