It's so hard to always be that one , who goes out of her way while the other side does absolutely nothing.
You bend over backwards for someone, you do the impossible to make things work between the two of you even though deep down you know it's pointless, but you can't help it.
You care about him so much that you just keep trying hoping he'll accommodate you. Unfortunately, that almost never happens.
Don't let your emotions wear you down.
Sure, relationships take investment, but they have to come from come from both sides.
It's all about give and take and you can't just give it away without getting something in return.
You will exhaust every atom of your strength. You'll miss the warmth.
You'll miss having someone to lean on. You will miss everything you so selflessly give.
You will miss yourself because before you know it you will be emotionally drained with nothing left to give, either to yourself or to others.
You shouldn't take on the role of a torturer in your relationship. True love doesn't require sacrifices on this scale.
You gave him so much that you have nothing left for yourself.
He shouldn't act like he has a claim on your heart.< /p>
He shouldn't expect your call or text if he hasn't called you in hours or even days.
He shouldn't rely on you to make the plans and do more than that so you can meet each other.
He shouldn't take for granted the fact that you're always there for him when he needs you.
He shouldn't come and go in your life and assume that you flip the switch on your heart.
You may be used to all of this, but it's not meant to be.
You will probably come to a point where everything feels normal, even if it is far from it. You're only used to things being bad, that you've made peace with them.
This is your wake up call. It's time to stop fighting for someone who isn't right for you. It's time to stop being a mat for him to walk on.
You should be the light of his world and not someone for him to trample on .
You need to realize that you deserve better. You deserve the love you keep giving.
You deserve someone you can rely on. Someone to call or wake up in the middle of the night because you just had a nightmare you can't get out of.
Someone to make you laugh and enjoy your smiling face . Someone who respects you.
Someone who does all the big little things like writing regularly and planning dates in advance. Someone who is just as involved and invested in the relationship as you are.
Anything else is not enough. Everything else is just crumbs. Anything else will force a relationship that isn't meant to be.
The bad shouldn't outweigh the good.
Your emotions shouldn't be based on jump up and down in his mood that day from happiness to sadness.
Sure everyone has their bad days but that doesn't mean you should take it out on another person or treat them like shit.
Love is kind and it should never hurt you. It should never make you feel small and insignificant. It should never make you feel alone.
True love does not tolerate one-sidedness.
It needs balance. It requires steady investment.
It has to flow from one person to another. She needs reciprocity. She can't survive without them.
You know that for a fact. Just look into your heart and see that it is no longer full. A lack of affection and attention and, more importantly, self-love.
If he really was the one, you wouldn't have to bend over backwards to be with him.
You shouldn't have to fight so hard to keep him in your life. You shouldn't do that much to get him treating you right.
You shouldn't interpret his mixed signals and be the one who's always trying and giving more.
He should be there too be. He should give back everything he takes. He should be there through thick and thin. He should be with you in this relationship. And that's the only truth.
At the end of the day, love is made for two. Two people who care deeply about each other and would do anything to stay together.
