As a therapist, I want to tell you: โYou loved him because love is in you. You had fun because you are fun. You felt happy because you are a happy person. You gave your all because that is who you are. You have a really beautiful way of loving, and you are going to be okay.โ
My mom asked why do I stop talking to people with no explanation I said because people know what they've done to me. I'm not about to address anything to a grown person, you moved how you moved and I moved out your way. Respectfully.
No one talks enough about how draining it is for a woman to keep extending grace to a man who never meets her halfway. At some point, love stops feeling like love and starts feeling like self betrayal.
