I can’t control your behavior; nor do I want that burden… but I will not apologize for refusing to be disrespected, to be lied to, or to be mistreated. I have standards; step up or step out. I’m not here to chase someone into treating me right, beg for bare minimum effort, or pretend toxic behavior is love. Respect, honesty, loyalty, and consistency are not luxuries — they are the foundation of any real connection.

If you think I’ll sit quietly while you gaslight me, lie to my face, or play games with my time and emotions, you’re mistaken. I’ve learned too much, healed too much, and grown too much to ever tolerate that again. I don’t need empty words; I need actions that align with what you claim to be.

My boundaries are not up for debate, and my peace is not up for negotiation. If you can’t meet me with the maturity and effort it takes to maintain a healthy relationship, then do us both a favor and step aside. Because I would rather stand alone in peace than stay attached to someone who thrives on chaos, disrespect, or dishonesty.
