One of the biggest predictors of relationship success is knowing how to fight right. The challenge is people don't grow up with a model for how to fight right and never learn how to self-regulate their emotions in order to fight right. Your job as an adult is to learn this... 🧵
you get into relationships to learn how to love each other properly. nobody is supposed to automatically know everything from the start, but people are too quick to leave instead of learning together.
I think people truly underestimate how hard it is for two human beings, to do LIFE together. The amount of effort, compromise, understanding, trust, loyalty, honesty, resilience, love, care etc, etc, that it takes. You have to CHOOSE that person every single day.
Every woman dating a struggling man has an unspoken timeframe for when she expects his story to change.
Once that timeline expires, the humble and understanding girlfriend voices out or starts emotionally checking out.
I do not handle hurt well at all and I do not like who I become when I am hurting. That's why I really don't like being mistreated or played with. If you aren't genuine, don't even bother me, Just move around.
Your partner coming to you about something you did wrong isnt a personal attack. It’s a healthy sign they value the relationship & want to make things work with you—it's a heads up. You communicate, you fix it, you stay. That's emotional maturity. That's commitment. That's love.
The biggest rule in a relationship is that no matter how mad you are at your partner, you do not go and seek someone else's attention. You stay there and make it right. Because that's your person. If you can easily go to someone else, you do not love the person you are with.
