I Believe Actions Speak Louder Than Words

So true!! I learned that in my marriage that ended, and again recently in a relationship (that ended tonight....). I learned not to let it go on as long as it did when I was married (almost 20 years). I truly wanted this last relationship to work. I tried so hard. We had a distance between us, but you can STILL show someone you love them or are interested. You don't need to be physically near someone to show them.

Send them an "I'm thinking of you" text. Send a poem, meme, song, etc. Call them. If you can, surprise them with little gifts being sent to their house once in a while. Stuff like that will show someone you care! Everything I just mentioned I did. I always give what I want in return.

But, my break up tonight was because of this. I told him a few times what I needed. Work always came first. He responded to a text only after I texted first. He'd occasionally tell me he loves me, but that's it. Never texted on his own, never called, never sent anything thoughtful. If he had never said those words...how would I know? Well....I didn't! LOL

Words are important too. But, they are just words without actions behind them.
