I learned that the only person I should be asking for what I deserve is me.
My happiness should not depend on someones actions.
I too had a checklist of what my prince charming should beit got me frustrated.

After years of overthinking and overanalyzing, I have learned something that finally led me to my happily ever-after.
Allow me to share.
Love is not about who took whose hand first, it is about the hand that never let go.

It doesnt matter to me anymore who initiated and who reciprocated.
I am not delusional.
Sure, one-sided is excruciatingly painful.
Unrequited love in a relationship is exhausting.
I am not in one.I am in a real relationshipone with ups and downs.
I am with a human being with strong and weak points.
I taught myself to send a message and not wait for a response.
I have a life and so does he.
If he responds immediately, great.
If it takes him half an hour, thats okay too.
And because I understand how he operates, I should know what he is and what hes not.
I taught myself to not turn him into someone he is not, just to be my ideal partner.
I taught myself to embrace the flaws.
I taught myself to be the person who calms the storms in his life.
I learned that the only person I should be asking for what I deserve is me.
My happiness should not depend on someones actions.
I found contentment and peace when I stopped demanding what I thought I deserved.
Instead, I made a choice.
I chose to not have expectations and to accept what comes with my choice.
I am choosing to be with him.
Overtime, his ways became mine, and mine became his.
We finally learned to bend over backwards to give each other what we thought the other deserves.
It is a process, for us it took many years, but we got there.
