A hard lesson I learned from my last long relationship.

It will always be your fault for accepting less than you deserve. It will always be your fault for giving and loving too much. It will always be your fault for expecting more. It will always be your fault for crying over someone who didn’t love you back as much as you loved them.

That’s what my ex made me realize. When I asked him how come he didn’t reciprocate my effort, he told me he didn’t ask for the things I was doing. Helping him with his household, cooking for him, everything. He made me feel so small when I would beg for him for the minimum respect, I should have know better than to expect it in the beginning.

You would be doing everything perfectly. They will still make it your fault that they don’t love you how you should be loved.

I’ve had enough.

I will take it into my hands to put my happiness first. I will forgive myself.

I will improve myself. I will learn from my mistakes. I will vet. I will not give small men the power to put the blame on me for being inadequate themselves.

Thank you FDS ladies for opening my eyes.
