...Is the sound of you walking out of his life ☺️.
A gentle reminder for those who want to "communicate" and "explain your pain" so that he "gets" it.
Sis...he knows he's hurting you---that's why he did it!
That was the intent. He WANTED to hurt you. You're just preaching to the choir. Men don't break up with a woman, they just make it impossible for her to stay.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that the same men who got us to the moon and own the most successful businesses in the world somehow "don't know" that they're hurting you with their BS.
Tattoo it on your forehead:
Walking away cures deafness.
That's all I gotta say for today.
It’s true. When a man starts treating you badly he WANTS you to LEAVE, but he doesn’t want to break up with and be the “bad guy.” Plus, if he breaks up with you he won’t have the “my crazy ex girlfriend left me, and I have no idea why” story for his next victim. Also, if you end things, he hopes he can come back for sex when the girl he’s treating you badly over doesn’t work out for him. This is how the operate. You can’t just have a logical, straight forward conversation about a man’s behavior and expect him to change. He’ll see your conversation as a challenge to his ego and up the ante from then on. It doesn’t matter if you’re right and if you’re trying to help him, because it comes from you, a woman, it will NOT be heeded. I tried for 4 years in my marriage to communicate to my husband via conversations, writing letters, and even just keeping quiet for months at a time. Nothing worked except calling the movers and filing for divorce. Then he pretended he’d not treated me like trash for the past 4 years and hadn’t had his fun hurting me purposely and watching me try so hard to stay married.
Correct. the dudes who screwed around temporarily seemed on their best behaviour when they feel I had enough of them. I will never explain why I’m leaving. I just do it.
Thanks for this very powerful post.
Came to this same conclusion, but I appreciate reminders.
Took a screeshot of this for when my ex comes back in town and tries to manipulate our mutual friends into making me "CoMmUnIcAte" some more.
Men don't break up with a woman, they just make it impossible for her to stay.
Preach, sis! Can confirm that the only time I ever saw a change in a man’s behavior was by walking out of his life, cutting off all contact, and never looking back.
