Let’s be honest about something before we even get started. You aren’t tired because you’re weak or because you don’t have what it takes to make a home. You’re tired because you’ve been doing the work of two people for a man who won’t even do the work of one. You’ve spent months, maybe years, looking for Signs of Disrespect in a Relationship as if you needed a detective's kit to prove what your gut was already screaming at you.
You didn't imagine the shift in the air when he walked into the room. You didn’t make up the way he looked right through you while you were speaking from your heart.

You kept telling yourself that if you could just find the right words or the right tone, he would finally UNDERSTAND what you were saying.
He had you believing that you were "too sensitive" or "too much" because you wanted him to be present. But here’s what was actually happening: he wasn't failing to understand you. He was choosing to ignore you.
