I feel so shitty, I just want to be loved and appreciated. I want to feel equal, I want him to genuinely treat me with kindness. I shouldnāt have to have cramps or be sick or be in person to get affection or proper attention. He sees me as an after thought. I donāt care that he fucks up I just care that he fixes it, I donāt care that he doesnāt have time for me I just want him to be honest, I donāt care that he cares more about other shit I just want him to be honest with me. All I want is honesty and respect. Have the respect for me to put in effort, realize how badly youāve fucked me up in the last year or two and genuinely sit there and say youāre sorry, I hate when someone else plays victim, I hate when someone apologizes to themselves, I hate when they need comfort when Iāve been the one crying. I have been so fucking understanding and patience and he keeps asking me for more, more time more understanding more patience and I just canāt. Iāve been worn down, I donāt have a sense of self anymore itās been taken away again and again and again. Why do I have to keep my guard up? Why canāt I just feel secure? Why promise someone that this will be the one stable thing in their life just to make it the most turbulent? Iāve been through hell and I donāt fucking know what to do. I just want to be heard. I just want to be sat down and told āIām so fucking sorry I did these things to youā with a proper explanation other than āI donāt knowā why do I have to sit here and beg to be treated right? Why do I have to let myself fall so he can feel like he isnāt alone? Why canāt we both just be at different stages of our lives and have that be okay? People donāt know what they have until itās gone but the problem is that Iād never leave him, so of course it wonāt change, why would it? Itās easier to put it off than to confront it if thereās no consequences to doing so. maybe he doesnāt care, maybe I shouldnāt care, maybe all of this is toxic and unhealthy, maybe it isnāt worth it, but why donāt I know for sure? I want to feel a 100% confident when he asks me āis it worth itā or āis it going to get betterā but I canāt decide if it gets better, Iām not the one causing the rift, Iām not the one with power, Iām trying so fucking hard to stay stable, to keep myself happy, to hold onto me. But people take selflessness and use it to their advantage. Everytime there has ever been an issue in the one to change, im the one to drop everything, and now he can acknowledge the fact that it wasnāt me who was causing this but he canāt sit there and give me a genuine apology without saying āI hate myself, im such a shitty person, it hurts me just as much as itās hurting you, I wish I could be like youā that isnāt apologizing, that isnāt taking blame, why do I have to pick you the pieces that youāve shattered? Im so close to just giving up and not caring anymore, im so close to telling him to just forget about everything and do whatever he wants, im so tired of making everything okay when i feel like im shattering little by little every time. If he doesnāt want to put the work in why do i try and make him? If thereās no work then the whole relationship wonāt work and Iāve tried so hard to make it work but maybe I canāt. Maybe Iām not the right person for him, maybe he needs someone who doesnāt care if it sinks or swims, maybe he needs someone who doesnāt need him, maybe he needs someone whoās okay being an afterthought, but why canāt it be me? Why have I put 2 1/2 years into this for that person to not be me, would someone finally love me right if I was that person? Why canāt I just be me? Why isnāt anything unconditional?
