There is a Japanese Legend that says:
"Whether it's a machine, a house, or a relationship. Maintenance is always cheaper than repairing." What you don't maintain, you eventually lose.
at some point you really have to tell yourself “this is not an experience i want to keep having” and stop entertaining things that don’t benefit you in any way
I’ve come to the conclusion that most dating problems we face as men come from a lack of self love, trying to control what we can’t, and the inability to be okay with uncertainty.
