I guess that's just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.

you never wanted me
I don't remember our last conversation
I never knew what to say
You never knew what you wanted from me
The last words I got from you were
Some mash of disappointment
A threat of reputation
Screaming from a stranger that never knew me
I never spoke to you again
You haunted my family
You tore up their hearts
I tried to forget that you existed
I was trying to figure out how to live
With the threat of you doing
Whatever the fuck you decided to
You never knew me
Now you're gone
And the relief I feel is overwhelming
I never knew you
You never wanted me

deep conversation questions for relationships?
What does being close mean to you, and how do you show it in our relationship?
What big dreams do you have, and how do you see us fitting into each other's futures?
What does trust mean to you, and what things help us trust each other?
Tell me about a time in your past that really shaped who you are now.
How do we deal with arguments or fights, and how can we talk better when things are hard?
What ways do you like to feel loved, and how can we make sure we show love in the ways we each like?
How do we respect each other's personal space and rules in our relationship?
Do you think we can grow and change while we're together, and how can we help each other get better?
How can we make both of our needs important in our relationship, even if they're different?
How can we be a couple but still keep our own selves and interests?
What things worry you about us, and how can we make those worries better together?
Tell me about a time when you felt really understood and supported by me. What made it nice?
What's your thinking about forgiving each other, and how do we get through tough times?
Why is talking openly and truthfully important to us, and how can we make a space where both of us feel okay to share?
How do we figure out what's important for us together and make choices we both like?
What things do you think make a good relationship last?
Can you tell me about a time when you felt proud of us? What made it special?
How can you keep friends and connections while being in a relationship with me?
What do you think about making memories and experiences as a couple?
If you could change something about how we talk or act together, what would it be, and how can we do better?
It's really important to be sure that the person you're in a relationship with thinks about things the same way you do. When your thoughts and beliefs match, it helps you understand each other better and get along well. This makes it easier to handle problems and make choices together because you're on the same page. Your goals, your work ethic, your problem solving skills.
Growth mindset, resilience, emotional intelligence, self awareness, how they forgive, the outlook they have on life, their level of responsibility, how they handle tough times, how they communicate, take care of themselves, their views. How they solve problems, their level of independence, how they communicate, how they support you. All of these things are important because relationships are about the potential of building a life together and independently. You can not overlook these things just because you love someone because you can not force a relationship to work.

+ accommodating love interest dialogue :)) feel free to use <3
“how many times do i have to tell you you can trust me?”
“what can i get you? do you need water? a hug? space?”
“i’m sorry. i just don’t think i’m ready.” “don’t apologize. it’s okay.”
“i think i’m ready.”
“thank you for being patient.” “you never have to thank me for that.”
“are you frustrated with me?” “never.”
“i just don’t want to be hurt again.” “i understand.”
“can you give me a second? i need a moment.”
“don’t apologize.” “sorry.” “name.”
“it’s okay. take your time.”
“if you tell me you want me to leave i’m gone, okay? don’t ever feel like you can’t take a break from me.”
when the love interest first asks them out and they’re like i’m really sorry but no… but the love interest doesn’t mind
“would you like to go on a date?” “i could do a date.”
more promrps like this in my healthy relationship prompts in my pinned master list…
A soul-to-soul connection is worth the wait. Your soulmate will recognize you, befriend you & love you. They will be your best friend, lover & safe space. They will grow with you mentally, emotionally & physically. They will want to evolve with you in every dimension & level up.
You do not owe your partner(s) sex. I mostly see this passed around in the asexual community, and it absolutely needs emphasis there, but this applies to anyone of any orientation. You never owe your partner(s) sex under any circumstance.
If your sex drive or libido is lower than your partner’s, you may feel obligated to “keep up” with them to make them happy. But you have a right to say no, or not be in the mood, or be too tired, or just not want to right now. Your partner(s) should respect your right to say no and your bodily autonomy.
If your partner(s) try to harass, manipulate, or coerce you into having sex when you say no, they’re an asshole. Having said yes in the past does not mean you can never say no. It is not your responsibility or obligation to provide sex. You do not need to violate your own boundaries to make someone else happy. Your partner(s) should respect your right to say no, and if they don’t, they don’t deserve you.
Your body belongs to you, and you decide what’s best for your sexual health. Happy Pride

I think that in real life…. Relationships r like . Your partner WILL ‘trauma dump’ on you. You will have to perform ‘emotional labor’ for your partner. Your partner will make mistakes. You will also do all of these things. The very nature of love is irrational and problematic and difficult …. To expect a relationship to be free of these things is strange to me…. The point is that your relationship to that person is ultimately worth it, and worth growing with them, helping each other, seeing the worst parts of another person and being able to love them anyway
You ever sit there and go “damn . I could really use a good cry right now.” But then nothing comes out
