10. When they haven’t replied for weeks
Instead of sending another soft follow-up, try:
“Should I assume this is no longer a priority?”
It’s direct.
But not aggressive.
And it works because people find it hard to leave an incorrect assumption uncorrected.
If they’re still interested, they’ll respond.
If not, at least you get clarity.
Most follow-ups fail for one reason:
They ask for an update,
but don’t give a reason to respond.
“Any updates?” forces the other person to think.
“Is this still a priority?” allows them to decide.
“Is something blocking this?” allows them to explain.
“Should we keep this open or revisit later?” allows them to close it.
Be careful with a partner who gets comfortable watching you carry everything alone. They will let you burn out while convincing themselves that you're just a strong person.
I know a guy that broke up with his gf of 3 months cause she didn’t get him anything for his birthday. He said he has experienced what it feels to have a woman spend on him and he refuses to settle for less 😭😭
A lot of MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.
Saw a post that says; 'The price of intimacy is conflict. When you avoid conflict, you avoid intimacy. Real closeness requires exposure. And letting someone into your inner world means they will sometimes step on tender ground.' I'll be thinking about this for the next several days
T.I. Instantly got scared for his life after Derrick grace boosted of shooting two people because some people were arguing and they ended up opening his car doors while he has his baby inside so he had to shoot both of them despite them not having firearms😳🥀
“You say that so casually”
I heard a therapist say, “Your feelings are always valid, your behavior is not.” She explained by saying feel what you feel BUT you need to be accountable for what you do as a result of those feelings.
