If you're someone who likes depth. You're more prone to attracting avoidants. They'll bring intellect & at first it'll feel like you're compatible. Until you realise you're engaging with a mind but the heart is in lockdown. Remember one sees you. The other just studies you.

Men can handle rejection.

What destroys them is the switch from being loved intensely to being treated like a stranger..

J’ai42 ans et je viens de passer les vingts dernières années de ma vie à me mentir.
J’ai été la féministe typique : celle qui hurlait que tous les hommes étaient des toxiques en puissance, que le mariage était une prison, que les enfants c’étaient du fardeau et que je n’avais besoin de personne. J’ai craché sur les mecs bien, j’ai traité de faibles les femmes qui voulaient juste être aimées et protégées. J’ai défilé, j’ai liké, j’ai partagé, j’ai insulté. J’étais fière. Tellement fière.
Et aujourd’hui ? Je suis seule.
J’ai vu mes copines qui ont suivi le même chemin : à 36-38 ans, elles sont épuisées, amères, et elles pleurent le soir parce qu’aucun homme ne veut plus d’elles. On leur a vendu que leur valeur augmentait avec l’âge et la carrière. On leur a menti. La vérité, c’est que plus on devient exigeante, indépendante et agressive, moins les hommes ont envie de nous. Point.
J’ai passé des années à humilier mon ex parce qu’il voulait payer l’addition ou m’ouvrir la porte. Je l’ai traité de macho alors qu’il voulait juste bien faire. Aujourd’hui il est marié avec une fille douce qui le regarde avec admiration. Moi je suis sur les applis, à swiper des mecs qui ne veulent plus que du sexe parce qu’on leur a répété pendant dix ans qu’on était “fortes et indépendantes”.
Le féminisme m’a volé ma féminité. Il m’a rendue dure, soupçonneuse, en colère en permanence. Il m’a appris à voir l’homme comme un ennemi plutôt que comme un partenaire. Et le pire ? Je vois plein de jeunes filles de 20 ans qui sont en train de tomber dans le même piège. Elles sont persuadées qu’être aimée = être soumise. Alors elles préfèrent être “reines célibataires” avec leur chat et leur prêt immobilier.
Les hommes, vous n’êtes pas tous innocents non plus. Beaucoup se sont réfugiés dans la facilité, la pornographie et l’irresponsabilité. Mais on ne peut pas nier que notre discours les a poussés à ça.
Je regrette. Profondément. J’aurais aimé qu’on me dise plus tôt que vouloir être chérie, protégée et aimée par un homme n’était pas une honte. Que ma force, ce n’était pas de ressembler à un homme, mais d’assumer ce que je suis vraiment.
Si t’es une femme et que tu te reconnais… réveille-toi avant qu’il soit trop tard. Et si t’es un homme qui lit ça… sache qu’il y en a de plus en plus qui regrettent. On est juste trop fières pour le dire à voix haute.
Voilà. J’ai tout perdu à cause d’une idéologie qui m’a promis la lune et qui m’a laissée vide. »

most people don’t fall out of love, they fall out of effort. and in this generation that’s easier to do than ever because we live in a world that is constantly offering us the next thing. a new person, new feeling, new beginning.

so when the relationship you’re in starts asking you to deal with the main things, conflict, growth, patience, unhealed parts of yourself you didn’t even know were there, the temptation to walk away and start fresh somewhere easier becomes louder than the commitment to stay and build.

add the fact that most of us came into adulthood with wounds we never addressed, expecting our partners to heal things they didn’t cause, and you have a generation that loves deeply but struggles to sustain it because we were never shown what love looks like after the feeling settles into something deeper and more intentional.

[Libriscent @libriscent]

If a relationship is going to actually work… you have to remember something. You’re two completely different people. Two different upbringings. Two different pasts. Two different ways of thinking, feeling, and handling things. And then somehow… you’re trying to build one life together. Of course it’s not always going to be easy. You’re not going to agree on everything. You’re not always going to see things the same way. You’re not always going to react the same. And that doesn’t mean something is wrong. That’s just reality. The problem isn’t the differences… it’s how you handle them. Because when things don’t line up, that’s when it really shows what kind of connection you have. Do you listen… or do you just react? Do you actually try to understand each other… or are you just trying to prove a point? Do you communicate… or let pride take over? That’s what makes or breaks it. Because a healthy relationship isn’t about agreeing all the time. It’s about respecting each other enough to work through the moments you don’t. To protect the connection instead of attacking it. To choose each other… even when it’s uncomfortable. That’s what real love looks like. Not perfect… just two people willing to figure it out together.

"Most long-term relationships aren't held together by overwhelming passion. They are held together by a VOW to look at each other in the middle of a brutal economy and say, 'I am not going to let you drown today.'" 👏

[Asanwa.sol @Chizitere_xyz]

I had a massive reality check last night about how Instagram is actively destroying long-term relationships by convincing us that love is supposed to be a 24/7 "soft life" aesthetic.

It was late, the apartment was stifling, and the power had randomly tripped. I was lying in the dark, scrolling through IG, watching a reel of some influencer getting surprised with a Cartier bracelet and a baecation. The caption was: “Never settle for less.”

Honestly, I let the internet poison my mind for a second. That familiar, creeping panic started settling in. I started wondering if my own relationship had lost the "spark" because we hadn’t done any grand romantic gestures lately. We were basically just splitting the crushing weight of adulthood.
Then I looked over at my man. There was no curated aesthetic. No cinematic background music. He was completely exhausted from his own day, but there he was, sitting on the bare floor in the dark, using his phone flashlight to help me count and sort out my ID Vogue orders so my morning deliveries wouldn't be delayed.

The entire Instagram illusion just shattered for me.
Social media has gaslit us into believing that if a relationship isn’t actively triggering your anxiety with constant highs and butterflies, it’s "dead." We mistake peace for boredom. We want a burning fire, completely forgetting that fires eventually burn the house down.
The harsh truth? Most long-term relationships aren't held together by overwhelming passion. They are held together by a VOW to look at each other in the middle of a brutal economy and say, "I am not going to let you drown today."

The internet will call that "settling." But the internet doesn't know a damn thing about what it actually takes to keep the water out and the house warm when things get dark. Stop letting a 60-second PR campaign ruin your real life.

[G E N I U S @theyomijulius]

Here's a small tip (simple truth) for you overthinkers like myself, 😄

● You cannot build stability by REACTing to what might happen later.

● You build it by RESPONDing correctly to what is happening now.

React ❌️
Respond ✅️

People were created to be loved.
Material things were created to be used.

The world is upside down because people are being used and material things are being loved.
