Once is ENOUGH.

He disrespected you once is enough.

He made fun of your outfit once is enough.

He made you the butt of the joke once is enough.

He got angry and shout in your face once is enough.

He got physical with you once is enough.

He hurt your feelings once is enough.

He "forgot" to celebrate your important day once is enough.

He talked down to you once is enough.

He insulted your hobby once is enough.

He acted insensitive to your sadness once is enough.

He humiliated you in anyway once is enough.

Once is ENOUGH.

Walk away.

Become the Drama Queen™.

Become the super duper triple extra deluxe Sensitive Samantha.

Become the Easily Offended Ortega.

Become the Difficult Dorothy.

Become the High Maintenance Queen™.

Become the Super Sulky Sierra.

Become the Petty Penelope.

Become all the "super girly ugh women" things that they loveee to threaten you with.

Because ALL the power lie there.

They WANT you to be the cool girl not-like-other-girl pickme that all chill and "can take the joke like one of the boys";

Because that means EASY access to you. While treating you worse than the dirt under their shoes whenever they feel like it.

Men CRAVES feminine presence. That's why they work SO HARD at convincing you that you aren't "all that" and should "be thankful" they paid attention to you.

If they truly mean what they said--the world would be divided into all-male-continent and all-female-continent.

Because what's the point of coexisting with a gender that they don't care about? Men are everything-or-nothing creature, if they don't care about us--it would show in the most blatant way possible.

But is that the kind of society we are living in?

So start being DIFFICULT.

That way, you open the way to only the creme of the crop genuine HVM to survive the trial and drop all the LVMs out of the way.

Let them whine -- that's all they can do anyway.

Regardless of whenther it was a "genuine" mistake or whatever--once is enough.

He was capable of that. What's stopping him from doing it again and again in the future?

Oh, he pinky-promised you?

You trust that?

His actions already told you what he can do (and already did), yet you trust that he won't repeat it again?

Fine, he is "truly sorry" and "won't repeat it again, bohoo";

LET HIM APOLOGIZE EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR SIX MONTHS STRAIGHT. WITH GIFTS AND MONEY.

Before you glance in his direction again.

Harsh? But him hurting your feelings and making you cry isn't?

Stop being naive sis, he is a grown-ass man. Let him take full responsibility for his own actions, stop babying a man.

Stop letting a grown-ass man treat you like sh*t. Once is ENOUGH.

WALK AWAY.

Stay safe, STAY WOMAN.
