team work in relationships | every morning, i make a mental note of all the things that need to be done. i’m more of a proactive mate, showing initiative is important especially when in comes to a relationship. i understand that as a mate, i should be doing whatever i can to help improve the quality of life of the person i’m with. i understand that there are things that i can do to make things a bit more easier. identify everyday task and or what needs to be done and assist as much as you can. as a man, i refuse to follow the rules of gender roles. i believe that those ideas are outdated, it’s a social construct that oppresses women and at the same time places so many responsibilities on their shoulders. in this outdated ideology, a woman does just about any and everything yet still gets taken for granted, feels unappreciated and or is treated like a nobody. in my household, i refuse to let the weight of everything or anything fall upon the shoulders of my fiancé. men, learn basic survival skills. learn to cook. learn to pick up after yourselves. be more attentive, realize what needs to be done and take care of those needs. if dishes need to be cleaned, do it. run a few errands, do the laundry or fold the clothes. cook for her sometimes. sometimes the small things are the biggest. sometimes an act of appreciate can help improve ones self esteem, confidence and or happiness. i hate this idea of women being in relationships with men who act like children. doing household chores, helping around the house, taking care of business and showing initiative in your relationship when it comes to everyday task is a way of bonding and preserving happiness within a union. i’m learning that gifts can come in the form of flowers, chocolates, roses and or simply doing something that shows your partner how much you truly care for their well being. you have a woman who helps you, do the same for her, always. #rhsin | i love you @_samantha.king | #vsco #vscocam (at Chelsea, Manhattan)

the time you waste holding on to an unhealthy relationship and or being unhappily married destroys the quality of your overall life and essentially kills you. sadly, i’ve watched as many relationships have become tombs, caskets and so many people have buried themselves alive by holding on to a person longer than they should. the most alarming thing is that a lot of people stay in unhealthy relationships because of the time they’ve invested but time isn’t enough to save or change a relationship. just because you love someone, doesn’t mean they’ll love you back. just because you choose to stay, doesn’t mean they’re the one. just because you fight a little harder, doesn’t mean they’ll make an effort. being with someone for years doesn’t automatically equate to a happy and healthy relationship. logically, the time which you’ve been with someone means nothing if most of that time has been spent at odds, unhappy and unappreciated. be mindful of the time you preserve and the time you spend. realizing how short life is… #vscocam #vsco #mvmt #mvmtwatches (at Rome, Italy)

we’re taught to associate pain with love early on in our lives. it’s start within childhood, being punished physical or verbally by our parents then told that we’re loved soon after. creating this disillusioned ideology that people who love us will also hurt us. whether it be physically or mentally. we witness our parents fight, we watch them scream and degrade one another but they’re slow to move on, holding on to one another instead of either improving their relationship or simply letting go. they stay together through all their fights with each other. cutting down one another verbally and maybe physically and this is the representation of what we identify as love, eventually those relationships crumble. we grow into adults, not realizing how much of what we witness as children has impacted our decisions in choosing a mate. i’m learning to unlearn the subconscious teachings from my childhood. i’m learning to unlearn what originally identified as love. i’m learning to unlearn the things that have kept me from finding love and maintaining a healthy relationship. i’m also learning to appreciate my relationship and doing what i can to not complicated. @_samantha.king though we aren’t perfect, we’re perfect for one another. we’re still learning each other and i want to apologize for any of the times where i overreacted, wrongly assumed, jumped to conclusions and or fought with you over some dumb shit. the goal is to self improve, not just for you but myself as well. i refuse to believe that my relationship has to somehow get harder with time. i honestly believe we’re off to a great start. thank you for teaching me unconditional love. we’re moving into a space of marriage and i’m working hard on myself to remain the man you love and respect. this was just an honest post, a moment to self reflect on what i’ve known and what you’ve showed me. thank you.

One of my fears used to be living in regret.

I used to think that one of my biggest regret would be letting you go. But spending time apart from you, growing without you, building my goals away from you, has led me to see that you truly didn’t give a damn about me.

I want to call myself foolish for ever believing in making us work but I am not going to punish myself for not seeing through your lies. It might take me awhile to let down my walls, but when I do, I love fiercely. That isn’t going to change any time soon. Might not be you who I’d love fiercely but that’s one trait I would never trade away.

I remember when we got back together the first time, I told you that I didn’t want to be with you if it wasn’t going to work out in the end. I really thought that you were committed to becoming a better you from the past. Yet, the same mistakes were made. It was whatever. I forgave until you decided it was okay to drag weak people back into my life again. Weak people including yourself. I thought I’d regret the second break up but I didn’t. I grew a lot stronger the second time around. Because this time around, I got to decide whether or not you deserved me.

I believe in second chances. And you got them alright. You took your third, forth, fifth, idk anymore... I lost count. After awhile, I realized that you lived for fuck ups. You do stupid ass shit and then victimize yourself when things fall apart. YOU make those decisions. Everyone goes through fucked up events in their lives but YOU choose how you cope with it and YOU choose the lessons you learn.

There are still nights where my head would echo with your “defense” as to why you gave up on us. It cuts deep and I still struggle with reminding myself that I. Should. Never. Apologize. For. Being. Ambitious. My ambition should have never been an issue. But it became one when you tried comparing it to your own. I have nothing to say to that.

I hope that you will one day figure out how to fill that void you have in your heart. Whether it be being with someone (or multiple people) who’s okay with being disrespected or patching things up with your family or just learning to love yourself, I honestly wish you happiness. These past three years was one hell of a ride. The good honestly outweighed the bad. But you abused my forgiveness and that is not okay at all. So yeah, I no longer fear losing you. Because in losing you, I found a better and stronger me.
