This is exactly why you are so emotionally drained in relationship dynamics that require everything from you and give nothing back.

A loyal woman’s love is the most powerful thing on this earth, but when it’s directed at a man who thrives on your confusion, it becomes a cage.
You didn't imagine the shift in the air when he walked into the room. You didn't make up the coldness or the silence that felt like a physical weapon.

And he’s perfectly comfortable watching you exhaust yourself trying to glue the pieces back together while he watches from the sidelines.
