I have a friend currently going through the end of a relationship where she’s frequently been thought of as ‘too much’… she said to me the other day ‘I’m realising that, frankly, he’s not enough’
And she’s so right, if she’s a floodlight, he’s a candle 🤷🏼♀️
Time to run like hell. I was with a man for seven years (the third in a series of terrible decisions) who constantly berated me. Texted old girlfriends, completely emotionally shut off. I was miserable. It wasn’t until he abused our dog that I finally left. My children and friends all breathed a huge sigh of relief that it wasn’t me who’d been beaten.
I thought all along that I could be so sweet, lovable and serve all his needs, and then he would love me more. False.
Find someone who loves you just the way you are, and who is willing to show it, say it and do it. You deserve more.
I've come to realize he isn't. I've also come to accept that I'm polyamorous and have big feelings. It has helped me understand a lot about myself and my experiences through life so far. I'm just not sure I'm ready to give up on someone who is extremely compatible in so many other ways. But emotions are important to me, and they are dismissed by him.

I'm dealing with this with so-called friends rn! Thank you for this reminder!
My partner regularly minimizes my emotions then denies it when I call him out. He's emotionally unavailable and doesn't see that as an issue.

Well, that's the thing. He is kind and thoughtful most of the time. He just doesn't go further than surface level with emotions. And I go DEEP...
Is he enough?
