Same Cycle
Why do I find myself in this same cycle?
I’m 24 years old and I feel like a whiny-ass sixteen year old complaining about “love.”
Seriously.
I give him everything, and every part of me. Maybe that’s a mistake, but it’s what I want to do. I don’t do things for him out of obligation, but out of passion.
“you shouldn’t tell him everything. you shouldn’t give him everything he wants. it’s a game you need to know to play.”
I’m sorry, I’m too old for games like that.
I make this so simple. I tell you what I want, what I need. I don’t make you guess when I’m upset. Then you get upset at me for my wants and needs?
You complain.
This makes it so hard to believe that there are men out there who would do anything to keep their woman happy. At least, that’s the bait you fed me. I’m stupid enough to have bit it.
I’m going against what I believe in to stay.
I’m settling, again. I’m compromising, again.
I.
I’m staying because I’m tired of always leaving when it gets shitty for me. Maybe this is just some tough bumps and we’ll get over it.
I’m staying because I love him too much to leave.
I need to learn to love myself more, again. I need more self worth than what this “relationship,” gives me.
