YOU ARE STILL MY PARTNER BUT YOU'RE NO LONGER MY SAFE PLACE
We still text every day. We still say "I love you." We still make plans for next week.
But something has changed.
I don't come to you when my anxiety spikes. I don't reach for you when your distance hurts. I don't feel safe enough to tell you what I'm really feeling anymore...
i don't wanna "win" the argument or feel "right". that's not the point. i just wanna feel like we've come to an understanding on the issue at hand. i want both of us to walk away feeling heard & understood. gemme that & i promise it's me & u 4L
Relationships can survive mistakes, but they can't survive patterns. Apologies lose meaning when actions never change. Everyone makes mistakes. Real love understands that people are human, imperfect, and sometimes get things wrong. But there's a difference between a mistake and a habit. A mistake is something you regret and work to correct. A pattern is something you keep doing while expecting forgiveness every time.
I stood on business that wasn’t even mine. I gave my last without hesitation. I carried other people’s problems just to make life easier for them. I showed up when I didn’t have to. I looked out when I could’ve just minded my own. So when it comes to loyalty,don’t question me 🤍
Stop sending long paragraphs & messages explaining how you feel, just don't say anything. I've learned that it doesn't matter what you say, if they don't care they just don't & nothing you say will change that. Keep your guard up.
Don't waste your time & energy.
I’m so BURNT OUT w/ people. Tired of always being the one who’s understanding. Tired of pouring into others, giving pieces of myself and sometimes everything I have. Burnt out on feeling taken for granted, used, and overlooked. I’m burnt out from loving, from trying, from showing up. Right now I have NOTHING left to give NOBODY… and I do mean nothing.. not love, not guidance, not even energy. I’m honestly at that point where I’m letting go and throwing in the towel..
