You can never build a relationship with someone who ignores your text. And it is impossible to build a relationship with someone who is not willing to talk about the future or make plans. And you definitely can't build a relationship with someone who is not willing to communicate or have a necessary conversations. And it's not your job to convince people to change and see how amazing you are. If you are stuck in a relationship where you are giving your 100% or even more, but your partner is not reciprocating even half of it, then it's a high time that you should ask yourself, why are you convincing yourself stay in that relationship and settle for the breadcrumbs? And this applies for both men and women. A relationship is more than just for those initial butterflies or the physical intimacy. You deserve to be with someone who respects you, who treats you like a priority, who is willing to build a future with you. All the efforts that you put on should be mutual, not just one-sided. Share this if this resonates.
