I just heard a man on a podcast admit that many men do not actually leave relationships when they are unhappy, emotionally disconnected, or no longer invested. Instead, they slowly withdraw effort, communication, affection, respect, and consistency until the woman becomes exhausted enough to finally walk away herself. And honestly, that realization is heartbreaking.
i texted her, "how was your day today?" and she sent me a 7 minute voice note telling me everything..
and that basically sums up the kind of person i want by my side. stop normalizing disinterest.
I'll take MY MAN on a full night out & swipe MY card with a smile thats why I be on hush mode when yall talk... GOOD men deserve to be treated well too‼️
I picked my son up from his dad’s this morning. When he got in the car I asked if he wanted to go out to breakfast. He asked if we could go straight home, with a look on his face. I asked him if everything was okay. He said he felt like he needed to cry. I asked if he wanted to stay at dad’s. He said “no I just have a lot of emotions bottled up that I feel safe to let out at home. I can’t express my emotions at dad’s; it’s not allowed there so I just save them for when I’m with you.”
He’s 7
I heard a therapist say, “Your feelings are always valid, your behavior is not.” She explained by saying feel what you feel BUT you need to be accountable for what you do as a result of those feelings.
I realised its not laziness or procrastination, when you reach a certain state of depression you get so detached from reality and you don't wish to participate in anything in life, you just want to sleep and wake up and actually not speak to anyone.
I just realised how lonely I am. I don’t talk to anybody, text anybody, nobody comes over my place, and I don’t go anywhere. I feel like I’ve cut the whole world off somehow.
I saw a woman on TikTok say she was a "good girl" her whole life. Did everything the "right" way. Followed the rules. Kept the peace. Put everyone else first. Now she's in her 40s and said all she feels like she has to show for it is grief and a lot of built-up anger. And honestly, as a woman, I felt that deeply. Because nobody really talks about how being the "good girl" often benefits everyone around you except the actual good girl. Everyone else gets the patience, the understanding, the sacrifice. And she's the one left realizing she spent years shrinking herself just to keep everyone else comfortable.
hearing that Huda was trying to coerce Chris into having sex w her here on Love Island and y'all let her walk away scotch free to millions of followers and fame will forever rub me the wrong way...
