If he loves you, he will not be okay with you not being okay.

In relationships, I ask for little.

Just a little bit of attention.

How I can find a way of fitting into their lives with both of us requiring minimum adjustments.

Never asking for too much.

I dont throw tantrums.

I have had entire relationships that go without arguments or fights for this reason.

Because Ill be the perfect girl, right?

There is nothing wrong with having expectations of your other half.

There is nothing wrong with having flaws.

Or if he forgets your birthday, you arent supposed to be okay with that.

Or if he is consistently late all the time for dates and dinners.

Or if he is just emotionally neglecting you.

You are a human with feelings.

And you are allowed not to be okay with this.

And you are allowed to tell the other person you are not okay with this.

If he loves you, he will not be okay with you not being okay.

yo dont allow yourself to hurt this way anymore.

Instead, sit down and evaluate what YOU need from your relationship.

And do yourself and your partner a favour and discuss your wants and needs together.
