It isnt an indication of their maturity.
Real maturity means recognizing your flaws and putting effort into correcting them.
They arent going to be able to stand seeing you in pain.

Hurting you once will be more than enough.
The right person for you isnt going to be perfect.
They are going to make a few minor mistakes throughout your relationship.
Its common for manipulators to play it safe shortly after making a mistake.
They might start sweet-talking you again.
They might set aside more time for you.
They might create the illusion they are changing for the better.
And then, when your guard is down, they will go right back to being an asshole.
You dont want to lower your standards to get to keep someone you love around.
You dont want to put yourself in a position to be hurt again.
Remember, apologies mean nothing.
Its easy for someone to sayI love you, Im sorry, it will never happen again.
You dont owe them anything, not your time, not your energy, not your love.
