Loyalty is top notch in a relationship. For sure. But so is the ability to continuously put in effort to make your partner feel valued, appreciated, desired and loved. & honestly I don’t feel it’s worth if the relationship does not consist of both.
Hardest thing for me to grasp as an adult is you have to keep showing up no matter how you feel. You gotta do this shit sad, do it heartbroken, do it grieving, do it tired. Life doesn’t care, it waits for nobody, you just have to keep going
someone's lack of effort is their lack of interest in you, someone's lack of interaction is their lack of resonance with you, & someone's lack of response is your lack of importance to them regardless of what they tell you.
