Do not make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you are being disrespected...

Nope. But I love the quote. We should love ourselves first.

Right now I'm just surviving. Trying to put one foot in front of the other.

💯

It's hard to learn.

We want to make excuses.

But, Respect is Respect.

They either have it for you or they don't.

I can be cordial, but you can feel my dislike.

Indeed.
Crazy the things we put up with when we are in love.

I have recognized it most of my life. You are right that is where I put myself out in a position I never should have been I was too understanding and far too quick to extend multiple chances. Now I give the same energy I am given. Tempered by a much calmer demeanor. But with a much more permanent result

A lesson I'm still trying to learn.

I used to but not anymore ☺ I’ve grown some balls the past few years.

Self love and all 🥰

You mean ‘stop being people pleaser’.

we hope :)
