Don’t let them emotionally exhaust you when they won’t do shit for you. Don’t let them use how safe you feel in their arms make you accept their shitty behavior. Their apologies don’t mean anything if they don’t stop doing the thing. No matter how much pain they claim to be in, don’t let them treat you as less than human. Don’t treat your pain as less valid than theirs to keep them around. If he cheated on his ex, and cheats on you, no amount of wheedling and being prettier, or sexier, or nicer, or making him jealous is gonna make him change.
Don’t fold yourself into uncomfortable shapes to make room for him. Don’t move mountains for him just because he makes you feel pretty, other boys can make you feel pretty, girls can make you feel pretty, you can make you feel pretty. If all he does is make you feel pretty, just make him feel pretty back and to hell with mountain moving.
Don’t ever sacrifice yourself because you think you need them. You don’t. There are others. There are more. There are better ones that won’t treat you like that.
Seriously, I promise that’s not just how they all are.
You deserve so much better.
