Unfortunately, I do want a provider. I do want a protector. I do want a leader. I do want a dominant man. I do want emotional maturity and effective communication. I do want mental stability. I do want to be spoiled. I do want self awareness. I do want clingy, obsessed and safe. I do want someone who chooses me every time. And nobody is going to make me feel bad for wanting those things in a partner.
The best decision l ever made was to be quiet. I have nothing to prove. I'm not convincing anyone that I'm a great person. I'm not fixing what I didn't break. I'm not fighting for anyone to see my worth. Whatever you do is on you. Just hope you don't regret it. As for me, I'm moving forward, free and at peace.
There is a difference between being patient with someone who is trying, and being loyal to someone who has already decided not to try. Learn to tell them apart. Your peace depends on it.
