Something I've learned the hard way: All relationships can survive mistakes, but they can't survive patterns. Repeated behavior isn't a mistake, it's a decision. Apologies lose meaning when the actions never change.
I Know Me & I Know How Nasty My Attitude & Annoyance Levels Get When I Get In That State … & I Appreciate My Friends For Just Letting Me Be.
Your SPOUSE is the one who'll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. who'll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if you're ever too sick to stand. this isn't just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. it's about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isn't enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE life's ugly parts... that's what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE won't carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when it's HARD TO LOVE.
My intuition is SO crazy. I can literally have no evidence of what's going on but still know there's something going on behind my back & I'm always right😭
