In my defense, I was 22 and a self-aware man was charming to me.

But mostly, it gave me hope.

Hope that he would change and give me the better he knew I deserved.

Spoiler alert:He never did.

And I honestly wish I had called it quits the verysecondhe told me I deserved more than him.

Maybe my experience resonates with you also.

And yet, he continues to make absolutely zero effort to actuallydobetter and give you more.

The idea of who he could be and what you could be together.

Because not only does he know he could do better, he knows what that better looks like.

He understands what youre looking for because youve told him time and time again.

He knows what he needs to do because youve literally laid it all out for him.

After all, youre still around.

Youre still spending time together.

Youre still giving him access to you.

Why would he do more if there are no consequences for his actions?

So, you have a choice.

And I hope you decide on the latter.

c’mon remember that you are not an afterthought.

You are not an option.

You are not just someone to text to pass the time.

And when you break things off, he may beg for you back.

He may promise to change.

He may ask for another chance.

If he says you deserve better, take his advice and leave.

Good love is out there.
