I am a member in many relationship/dating/marriage subreddits and forums and I see SO many topics and replies and comments over the years. Women who ask:
"My husband does nothing around the house, I work and do everything. What should I do?"
"My boyfriend is with me for 8 years but he doesn't want to marry me."
"My partner pays no attention to me but chats all day with his friends, what can I do?"
"My partner doesn't have sex with me anymore after I had our child. I have postpartum depression and I gained some weight. What can I do?"
And SO many more that I didn't mention here.
Ladies, women, sisters. It's OUR FAULT FOR TOLERATING THIS. WE/YOU HAVE TO STOP TOLERATING ALL THIS.
-STOP TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR SHORTCOMINGS. -STOP TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR WRONGDOINGS. -STOP APOLOGISING TO THEM WHEN IT'S THEIR FAULT.
A grown ass adult (without debilitating physical/emotional issues), whether male or female, is OBLIGATED to care for himself and his surroundings and do his part.
You are not your partner's mother or carer. Stop acting like it.
STOP EXCUSING MEN'S BEHAVIOUR. STOP JUSTIFYING THEIR BULLSHIT. STOP NORMALISING ABUSE WITH EXCUSES. STOP TREATING THEM LIKE CHILDREN.
Please realise that they KNOW FULLY WELL WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THEY.KNOW. And they know we will tolerate it, which is why they continue.
Stop tolerating all kinds of shit from them. If you see that a man who wants to be in your life has NO value, nothing to add to it, no worth, LEAVE. Don't enter relationships with men-children and if you are in one, don't tolerate it. Leave. Don't waste your time. There are some HVM out there and if not, you are a million times better on your own than with a worthless male who is wasting your time and sucking up your energy.
