I have noticed something about men that genuinely makes me sad. Some of them don't stop loving; they just get tired of feeling unappreciated. At first, he is happy to provide, protect, plan, sacrifice and make life easier for the person he loves. But when every sacrifice becomes an expectation, the joy slowly disappears. He starts wondering whether anyone actually sees the effort behind the lifestyle they're enjoying. There is only so much you can give before you start wanting to know that somebody would still choose you when you have nothing left to give.
I kept my ex’s number after we broke up.
No contact. Just had it.
One day I texted him, just to say I was thinking about him and hoped he was okay. He didn’t respond.
I texted again months later. Same thing.
Then again. And again.
I told myself I was just checking in, that maybe he was struggling, that maybe one day he’d need to know someone remembered him.
People told me to move on, but I thought persistence meant caring.
I thought the silence was something I needed to break.
