What’s a polite way to tell someone, “I’m not discussing this with you because your entire understanding of the subject is built on so many interconnected misconceptions that correcting them would require uninstalling your current worldview and starting the tutorial from birth”?
You think you found a calm man until you realize he just doesn’t know how to communicate like a grown ass adult.
Being silent and avoiding shit isn’t maturity.
Beyonce's husband cheated on her, Khloe Kardashian's husband cheated on her, and even Monica Belucci's husband vincent cassel cheated on her, monica belucci, maria shriver, jennifer lopez, emily radakowski, princess diana, natalie portman, some of the most beautiful, successful and desired women in the world, women admired by millions and yet it still happened. Because cheating was never a reflection of a woman's worth, it's always a reflection of a man's choices, so stop believing that there is some level of beauty that guarantees love, loyalty or a happy relationship. There is no woman beautiful enough for a man who lacks values, but there is something far more important. You can choose yourself every single day. You can take care of yourself not for a man, not for other people's approval, and not to prove anything to anyone, but for your own happiness. Dress beautifully. Express your individuality, protect your energy, look in the mirror and genuinely like what you see, not because it will make someone stay, but because it will make your own life better. Stay true to yourself, but don't forget about yourself.
One of the best questions a woman can ask herself about a relationship has nothing to do with whether she loves him.
“Do I like the woman I have become while loving him?”
Are you calmer? More confident? More curious? Are you seeing your friends, taking care of yourself, making plans, laughing, sleeping?
Or has your entire personality slowly reorganised itself around keeping one relationship okay?
Love tells you how you feel about him.
Your life tells you what loving him is doing to you.
Pay attention to both.
