Six-Year Stand

It’s one thing when a man says he loves you many times, but nothing says it best when the man chooses you. They can say they have strong feelings for you, care about you deeply, but if he doesn’t seem to potentially see a future with you, then why stay?

Some relationships are too complicated, but one must simply uncomplicate it as it is the only way for it to work. If no effort was done in the best years to bring the relationship to the next level—when emotions are high and love is at its greatest—how can one expect it will ever happen in the future? Evading the topic and praying for things to get better can only go so far. Giving justification as to why he can’t be with you is a great disservice to yourself. He will never be ready for a mature relationship that requires responsibilities.

Before you know it, you already spent years waiting for him to step up. And the painful thing is finally waking up one day to that realization that you waited for nothing because he will never choose you. He doesn’t love you that much to commit. 

And then you can only regret the years that you wasted. Years that you could have used to explore other possibilities, experience other things, focus on other people.
