I’ve never gotten mad at a friend for spending time with they partner. They tryna build and start lives with them. We can’t kick it til the sun come up like we used to, which is fine and understandable. Lol.
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. Likes And eventually, the bill comes due.
The older I get the more self aware I become. I’ve refrained from giving people unsolicited advice/opinions about anything. If you don’t tell me I don’t ask, I’ll meet you at the level you include me…
