Never teach a man how to be your man. Don't ask him for anything. Not a date. Not flowers. Not clingy texts. Not morning calls. Not time. Not affection. When a man truly wants you,he moves different on his own. Life's too short to be waiting for someone to act right!
My man said something to me that really stuck.
He told me, “I’m not actually here to control you. I’m not your dad, I’m your partner. You’re free to make your own choices. Just understand that every choice has consequences. If you choose something that damages what we’ve built, that’s on you.”
He said, “I’ll always tell you when something hurts me or crosses a boundary, because that’s what healthy communication looks like. But if you keep stepping over the line after I’ve shown you where it is, then you were never really protecting us to begin with.”
And honestly, that’s what accountability in a relationship sounds like.
