And oops...should've put "boy*" instead of man haha. We all know the reason why.
Don't Fall for Potential
Of course there are cases that are yet to be achieved. For example, a yet to be successful man in terms of dreams and wealth. However, what we're gonna discuss here is about the character. Because such things like wealth can be earned and we'll support that.
Don't fall to a potential bare minimum. Like if he promised to treat you right soon then still keeps on disrespecting and invalidating you. Stop staying to a boy who only needs you but can't even hold you right. If a man genuinely loves you, he'll love you the way you deserve and his words will align to his actions. Trust me, it wouldn't be so hard to do the bare minimum in a relationship if the love is genuine.
No matter how long you'll stay hoping, the moment it's done it's already a signal, twice is a red flag, thrice is insincere, and so on is hopeless. Unless it's cheating, once is enough to walk away.
Don't feel bad to walk away for your own sake
Love won't give you more anxiety. Love shouldn't take your peace of mind away. I know it's hard to walk away, you can try to drain yourself to the corr hoping but I hope you'll realize as soon as possible that you wouldn't even be there in that position if you're being valued.
When I say it's easier to change your boy
It doesn't mean to change him literally in an instant. You can have a better man soon but when I said that, I mean that it's because you already know how much you deserve as a woman when it comes to you having a man and being their lady.
Focus on yourself. Don't try to make him jealous or regret what he did to you. It's better to not keep any feelings even anger and sadness. I know it's hard, it'll take time. But for your sake, just do it.
Be untouchable and unbothered
If he comes back then it's on you to decide (if he cheated last time well it's not advisable).
It's more recommendable to focus on yourself first. Give yourself the love you didn't receive when you're with him. Work on yourself and achieve your goals in life. Take a break from relationships. Consequences are not good if you'll instantly go to another man because he's treating you better. You might've fall for that because you barely receive that from last. So I suggest that you take a long break first then when you completely moved on, have a clearer mind, when you're ready to risk again then you'll know the right time when to entertain and who to choose as your man.
Choose well, because our partner in life is our greatest investment.
Exactly, we have to learn to love ourselves first. Focus on ourselves. And when time comes when the right person will come along it would be beautiful then.
