I disagree. We deserve to be treated at least as well as we treat others. But we can't force them to give us what we deserve. However, we can set limits on what we accept and what we don't.

Yes you deserve everything you deserve. But you don't deserve to get it from the person you choose it from, if that makes sense. You get to have everything you need and want, but you can only invite someone to give it to you, not expect it or force it. And if they don't want to or can't give it then there are other people

No one deserves to be abused. You absolutely can end a connection because they aren’t treating you how you deeerve to be treated

great points but i also think relationships DO work based on people just treating other well too. moreover, "deserving" is a thing because to ignore it also ignores that some ppl just have bad intentions and that how you're treated sometimes definitely is not "deserved." what matters I think is the intentions of the actions and people in the relationship.

Also, your expectations for a person are yours and yours alone. They aren’t you therefore they will never do, behave, be like you. Meet people where they are exactly who and how they are - not potential you see in them. Relationships are constantly choosing to choose that person. 🖤

lol, got my co-worker a coffee the other day and he mentioned how he owes me, and i said "for what", its amazing to me how some people dont even imagine doing something for someone without expecting something in return

It’s not deserve, it’s “do you want this?”

Sometimes, using “deserve” is a sign that we’ve spent too long tolerating an unfruitful connection without addressing the issue, fixing it or walking away.

this is it! A lot of general relationship advice is therapy advice taken out of context and applied to the masses. When most people say they "deserve" something, what they mean is that they want something - and its fine to want something, but its more vulnerable to admit our wants than our needs. Its a lot easier to say you deserve it. The word "deserve" in a relationship context should really only be used in situations of abuse - everyone deserves better than abuse

100%!! never be with someone you wish to change ANYTHING about, and never be with someone who wants to change ANYTHING about you. No one deserves to have someone else’s behavior change for them, but you do deserve to be able to leave & look the person that is right for you!!

Right because deserve is a word with moral connotations, and once you’re moralising people (yourself or others) you are disconnecting.

I’ve learned to just walk away when friends want an unbalanced relationship where I give and do more, or after they disrespect me. Honestly it’s exhausting to keep people around who are selfish. The best thing you can do for yourself is learn to let go of what doesn’t uplift you.

I just don’t agree with this. No one deserves to be treated badly and we all deserve respect and kindness. And true, relationships are more complicated than that. One action doesn’t make a person or reflect their worth but when it becomes a pattern of behaviour, we are within our rights to leave because we ‘deserve’ better. Basic kindness and respect are important and if you don’t think that you even deserve that much, then someone will likely take advantage of that. A strong connection with someone means nothing if they’re constantly dismissive/unkind/disrespectful/etc to you.
