actually, i lied.
i also want to receive flowers when i least expect them. i want constant reassurance, random calls, random dates, random gifts, love letters, and forehead kisses. i want quality time, long hugs, and deep conversations. i also want to experience being surprised on my birthday. to be photographed not because i handed you the camera, but because you truly wanted to. i want to be reminded that i am loved right, and that you're proud to have me.
I was born for romantic love, Sunday family barbecues, quality time, lying on the chest of the person I love, spending time with my love ones,little gestures, feeling deeply, all of it.
Begging for the barest minimum will leave your mental space in shambles.
Imagine asking your partner to say "I love you" & their consistent response is, "I’m not used to saying it."
Imagine asking your partner to compliment your outfit & all you get is, "It’s okay” or “Wear it if you like."
Imagine being with someone who barely expresses feelings. Conversations bland. You bring up emotions, they dismiss them quickly like it’s nothing.
A relationship shouldn’t feel like emotional starvation.
If you constantly have to beg for reassurance, affection, communication or basic effort, you’re slowly draining yourself trying to fill a cup that was never pouring into yours.
Hard to survive in such. Wrap it up & call it a day.
So many people stil don't understand that their partner's request for change is not asking them to change who they are, but to modify the PATTERNS that are hurting the RELATIONSHIP..
i want somebody who WANTS to go out with me and WANTS to spend time with me and WANTS to go adventuring and WANTS to listen to me talk about my day and ENJOYS who i am and who i want to be and i'll be the exact same way for them. that's what i want right now
I like a man who includes me in his life, not someone who tries to fit me into the gaps of it. a man who makes plans, takes initiative, and makes me feel his love and attention. a man who says ‘we’ll see,’ ‘I was going to,’ or ‘I’ll do it later’ is just not for me
Women don't leave healthy men.
They leave the bare minimum, emotional neglect, inconsistency, emotional starvation, passive cruelty and narcissism, being taken for granted, and the burden of doing everything solo.
I don’t need a perfect relationship, I just need someone who’s afraid to lose me, respects my efforts, is proud to have me, and chooses me every single time.
He's not cheating, but there are no flowers, no affection, no effort. No surprises. No dates unless you ask... and ask again. And the truth is, laziness can kill love just as much as betrayal can. Love needs to be felt, not just said. You can't expect someone to stay when they no longer feel wanted. We don't fall out of love, we fall out of being seen, appreciated, desired.
Would you want your daughter to stay in a relationship just because he's not cheating?
