🦋💖 S O P H I E 💖🦋 :
How they communicate when things get hard is extremely important.
My man and I haven't spoken for a week because his visa was delayed. I tried reaching out, I called and sent messages on WhatsApp, but he didn't respond, even though he was active on Messenger. When he finally reached out later that evening, I felt disrespected. He told me his head was full and that he would get back to me when things became clearer.
The next day, he reached out again, and I told him what he did and how it made me feel, but he hasn't said anything about it since.
Now, I blame myself for not being nonchalant from the beginning. I regret the fact that I cared. All I ever wanted was to be there for him. It hurts that I had to let go during one of his difficult moments, but he gave me no choice. To me, being shut out during your difficult moments makes me feel like my presence isn't valued. If I can't be there for you when life gets hard, then what place do I truly have in your life?
Sometimes, it's not the hardship that hurts the most, it's realizing you weren't allowed to stand beside the person you were willing to fight for.
