LET THAT MAN GO. you're not holding on because you love him so much. you're holding on because you're hoping he will change and treat you the way you deserve. you keep telling yourself that maybe one day he will act right, but if he wanted to, he would have already done it. his actions, the excuses, and the broken promises already show you his character. you don't have to stay in pain just to be chosen. and love should not be something you have to beg for.
Ngl i prefer dating someone who's healthy clingy. Constant talking, planning future dates/trips, and asking "When can I see you?" Yeah, I like that very much.
