Excellent point.

I spent the last few months trying to be there for my ex. He had a midlife crisis and I told him I'd wait for him to figure it out. I regret trying to make this work. I should have just blocked him and worked on myself. Now, here I am, wasting time waiting on someone who doesn't love me, who never will love me. You go on thinking it might work out but as time goes on, you realize you're trapped and you start to see their true colors. Never again will I give you another minute of my time. I've been so concerned over your wellbeing while I let myself go. I'm the one who needs that attention and love. I've always put you first and you still can't be bothered. Don't do what I did. When they dump you, move on. Don't give them another second of your time. If they didn't appreciate you the first time, they never will appreciate you. Don't give them control over you.
