It costs nothing to show me you care;
holding my hand
makes me feel like I belong with you
stroking my face
makes me feel cherished
look into my eyes
and I feel seen, really seen by you
hug me
and I feel loved
when you smile
I feel warmed by you
when you praise me
it makes me want to do even better
when you run your fingers through my hair
I want to bury my face in your chest
when you tell me you love me
I feel like I’m yours
when you say and do all of the above
you show me how much you really care.
Now that isn’t so hard
is it?

If it’s bad for you, stay strong. Don’t give in to that urge. It’s like breaking any other habit. If you give in, sets you back to square one. Not worth it. 😊

Yes it ends up being the best choice. I still miss him. Saw him the other day and wanted to talk to him… sigh. Some people never learn

Ha! That’s true. I meant “we” as a generalization, but that’s accurate….and not just for men. I was treated that way by a woman I adored. So it swings both ways. Like I said the other day, we all have limits. Can only be treated like crap for so long. I finally had to cut bait. Best choice I could’ve made. 😃

We? Lol. No it really is that simple. There is no need for him to behave any differently, unless he’s just not into you…

It should be just that easy. Why do we complicate it so much? 😊
