He’s Not Thirsty
It’s Monday night and here I sit editing my thoughts and feelings on my MacBook.
I suppose it seems weird to “edit” what comes naturally however I want to make sure my ideas reach you in the most comprehensive way possible. So what am I feeling like at this moment? Okay you asked for it.
I am tired of fantastic women remaining in less than fantastic relationships with men who know exactly what they are and are not doing. I am not trying to judge anyone and I am not mad, but you should be.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t hate men. I love men, well not all men, but my goal here is not to bash them. Really I’m just trying to uplift US. I’m also not trying to be condescending; rather I’m trying to shed more light on what should be an obvious situation.
Here’s my take…
When we don’t like how an outfit fits after trying it on again at home we return it right? Well unless we bought it off the sale rack then in that case all we can do is exchange it or get a store credit. Which is fine, but maybe we should avoid the sale rack. It’s on sale for a reason…it’s so last season.
So then why when the same happens with a man (he no longer fits) do we rationalize and justify reasons that he is repairable along with the ways to fix him? I mean we all know you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. However, some of us seem to believe that if we push them in they’re bound to take in some water. My opinion is the damn horse will probably drown.
I’m pretty sure the horse…excuse me…I mean the man knows what he’s doing versus what he’s saying. Please don’t think for a second that he doesn’t because if he was that inept you would have never given him the time of day in the first place. So then why do some women choose to “stick it out” when he’s effing it up?
I think that sometimes it has to do with the perception that the eff ups aren’t as obvious as finding Miss New Booty in your bed so we let them slide. Yes I said we, not you, because I have been there before. However I’m happy to say that that is a distant memory.
Relationships aren’t perfect 100% of the time, but less than 80% is worth 0% of your time. However, if you’re ok in that spot, by all means, get comfortable. Just understand that I (along with others around you) know that you deserve better!
Like Oprah said, if you know what you want and you’re not getting it, MOVE ON!
That’s my word.
Peace.
we make it worse for each other when we reward bad behaviour with our time. We’re so worried about leaving and allowing another woman to benefit from our work but what about leaving and setting the next girl up with a dude with serious asshole tendencies.
Relationships aren’t perfect 100% of the time, but less than 80% is worth 0% of your time.
great quote!

I ask myself about this all the time and the gurls that I ask say they aren’t ready to give up…Ikno my relationship isnt perfect and I shouldnt judge…but less than 80%like you said aint worth it- but to some girls they think it is…WHY I dont know but it just is- if theyre willing to put time into something that they KNO they arent getting an equal or good amount out of- WHAT MORE CAN WE SAY?
