You feel completely Emotionally Drained in Relationship cycles that were never designed to give anything back to you. You’ve been running on an empty tank for so long that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to just breathe without wondering if he’s okay, if he’s mad, or if he’s about to pull away again.

This isn’t on you. You didn't imagine the distance, and you didn't invent the silence that follows whenever you try to talk about how you feel. A loyal woman's love is meant to be a foundation, not a sacrifice. You thought if you just gave a little more, he’d finally see you. You thought if you were patient enough, he’d eventually show up. But you can’t give someone the map to your heart if they aren't even interested in making the trip.

You aren't broken. You are just tired of being the only one fighting for a connection that he decided to stop protecting a long time ago. It’s time to stop asking why he isn't changing and start looking at what all that waiting has done to your spirit.
