this man sharing a quote said “ as a lady if you are educated, financially independent, disciplined, and strong, then there is nothing left for a man to offer you except the way he treats you” and i think it’s fact.
"OMG HE'S GOING TO TREAT THE
NEXT GIRL BETTER"
But you were "the next girl".
There was a girl before you.
And how did he treat you?
Like shit. Exactly.
Go get money.
Can we stop acting like the only deal breaker is infidelity and cheating? Let's please add gaslighting, lack of accountability and communication, immaturity, manipulation, mental/physical abuse, financial instability, not accepting kids, anddd being a liar…
I used to think that holding your tongue was a sign of maturity, but I realized that a true sign of growth and maturity is being able to vocalize your feelings in an appropriate manner even if you are angry. Holding your tongue just fosters unexpressed feelings that lead to
accountability is so important to me. nobody's perfect, but don't try to flip the script and make my reaction the issue when your actions lit the match.
i don't think people really understand that there is no coming back from certain things. Some damage does not get undone, and once it changes how you see someone, that's it. Not everything deserves a second chance, no matter how sorry they are.
Nobody prepares you for the amount of pain and grief you experience when you have to forgive yourself for believing someone was actually a genuine person. The hardest part isn't just their betrayal.
it's the shame you carry for ignoring your instincts.
