You are my partner, but you are not my property. Our relationship is a promise between the two of us. Others are free to like you, and if you believe another person is the best option for you, you have the freedom to choose them.
If you are no longer interested in someone, let them know. Slowly distancing yourself, ignoring calls, and giving half-hearted responses hurt more than simply being honest and upfront.
you deserve someone who CAN’T WAIT to talk to you, spend time with you, get to know you, and fall in love with you. please stop settling for half-hearted, lukewarm, hesitant, and indecisive love. it’s sooooo much better to be alone than with someone who makes you FEEL alone.
“How do you want to be loved?”
“Is there something you would like for me to work on?”
“Is our relationship serving its purpose?”
“Are you happy?”
These are all valid questions.
Couples in healthy relationships also argue, have different opinions, feel frustrated, insecure and bored at times. Healthy doesn't mean perfect. What makes a relationship perfect is HOW you choose to move through those challenges TOGETHER.
