my mom once told me "SPOILING DONT ALWAYS INCLUDE MONEY! it includes time, attention, cooked meals, being there emotionally, physically and mentally! money comes and goes but how you make me feel is forever!" and i felt that.
You don’t need a perfect partner. You need someone who can regulate their emotions, admit when they fuck up, & actually sit with uncomfortable conversations without shutting down, flipping it on you, or throwing low blows every time shit gets real.
