I'm starting to feel nothing for men no matter how they look or what they say. Liking them just takes so much from you and it's never worth the investment.
Yeah, it’s what you do for the rest of it. Your job is only 2-3 hours a day and you’re useless to her the rest of the time?
Clean the house, cook dinner, garden. Even learning a new language or painting is better than PlayStation. Are you 12?
One of the loneliest experiences in adult life is wanting a relationship that is just slightly beyond what the person you love is capable of giving.
Not because they're bad or because they don't care. But because there's a gap between what you need and what they can offer, between the depth you're reaching for and the depth they're able to go and no amount of love on either side closes it.
You've had the conversations. You've explained what you need as clearly and patiently as you possibly can. They've listened, they've tried but it's still not quite there...not quite the emotional presence you need, not quite the level of intimacy you're starving for, not quite the partnership you imagined when you chose this person. Close enough that leaving feels absurd but far enough that staying hurts in a quiet, constant way.
You're allowed to need what you need. And you're allowed to grieve the specific sadness of loving someone who genuinely tries and still cannot give it to you.
One day you’ll be mid-sentence explaining what you deserve in a relationship and realize you're said it six times before. It’s very important to walk away.
Women, please stop ignoring early signs of unkindness. A man who is comfortable being rude, dismissive, impatient, or inconsiderate in the beginning usually doesn’t get better with time. Leave early.
