Daily reminder you deserve more than the bare minimum. You deserve a man who’s sure about you and values you and makes time for you. (I can’t even follow my own advice rn idk how to do this girlies)

Aw, girl I get it. All my defensive rage goes to people who wrong others, but standing up for myself is harder. To keep myself out of bad relationships, I think of my possible future kids. I think, if I can get out of this now, they won’t have to deal with him. Or I think of how all my love and care could go to my friends and family instead.

I just don’t know what to do, I can’t make someone value my presence and want to see me, like I just can’t do anything and he said he was willing/wanting to work on this but his words are not matching his action and ai hate sitting in limbo or whatever this is now

What does he do specifically that shows he doesn’t value your presence?

He hasn’t seen me in 3 weeks gonna be 4 hasn’t tried to plan anything and says he hasn’t seen me bc he’s been “busy”, I started giving him the effort he’s been giving me but b4 that flipped his shit over something when he couldn’t even make time for me on my bday wknd like if you didn’t want to see me anymore just say that don’t say this and that without actions to match it.

Wait, he flipped out on you when you treated him how he treated you?

He flipped out that I went out to dinner with my giant friendgroup and didn’t mention that guy friends would be there. (He didn’t even try to see me for my bday let alone make time.) At that time he hadn’t seen me in 2 1/2 weeks and had pulled back majorly when I had begged him to hangout. I would say I over-communicate things and I said I would make sure next time I would specify that and I have. But he said he wants to work on this still but has stopped texting me, etc. and has pulled back

I’m now giving him the effort he’s giving me which isn’t even the bare minimum might I add. Do I say something and be like blah blah blah or just say nothing and keep going on with my life ?

If he’s getting mad at you for spending time with friends, he probably intends to isolate you from your friends, control, and abuse you. He might say something like “you should have told me some of those friends would be male”, but really it’s just an excuse. He’s testing the waters I think. Trying to see what happens when he pushes your boundaries.

I told him I would communicate that next time and I did and he said okay. Im more upset abt the fact I haven’t seen him in over 4 weeks and that he stopped saying gm/gn and hasn’t tried to see me
