Nobody ever apologized for how they treated me. They skipped right past what they did and focused on how I reacted to it. It’s easier for some people to point at your response than take accountability for what caused it. That taught me a lot. I stopped expecting accountability from people who couldn’t even admit when they were wrong.
God brings people in and moves people out. Quit being discouraged over who walked away, who wouldn’t stay. If they left you, you didn’t need them. If they walked away, let them go. God has new relationships, new opportunities.
The fastest way to lose a good man is to believe he’s the only one responsible for keeping the relationship alive. Reciprocity isn’t optional. It’s the whole game.
