This excerpt was actually written by a man. I was surprised at how accurate this statement was coming from him. It’s completely true that when a woman is ready to leave it came from numerous chances that she gave away.

Those chances come from hoping that he will compromise or see that her love is unwavering. However, when it’s time to walk away it’s when she realizes that she is slowly chipping away her self respect.

My hope is that for any couple it never gets to this point. I hope that during this pandemic we evaluate what’s really important in life which is to listen and respect the love that exists before it’s too late.

I know that for myself I’m learning to love and respect myself first and the right partner will nurture it.
