Some of you don't need to end the relationship, you need to downgrade it. One of the biggest mistakes I think we're making with our relationships is believing that we only have two options. Staying close or cutting someone off. But there is a third option that we don't talk about nearly enough, and that's that you can reorganize any relationship you have in your life. Maybe this person can't be the close friend you hoped that they would be. Maybe a relationship with a sibling, for example, is never going to have the emotional intimacy you wish it had. And maybe there are certain subjects you simply cannot discuss with one of your parents without the relationship going off the rails. And trust me, I know that there can be real grief in accepting these things, but accepting the other person's limitations doesn't have to end the relationship. You can instead downgrade it and maybe that means you just see them less often. Maybe instead of spending an entire weekend together you meet for lunch or maybe you stop going to this person for emotional support, but you can still enjoy going to a baseball game together. Or maybe there are a few subjects you just respectfully decide are simply off limits. You're not pretending that problems don't exist, you're just changing the conditions of the relationship so that the parts that do work have a chance to survive. And I think that's a really important part of social health that we just are not talking about enough, because part of having a rich, connected life is accepting that not every relationship is going to become what we hoped it would be. And not every relationship needs to become closer and not every difficult relationship needs to disappear sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is accept the relationship for what it can be, limitations in all instead of ending it because it couldn't become what you wanted it to be.

Text 1: “Nawa o, you couldn’t even ask how my day went today” Text 2: “Awwwn.. Thanks for checking up on me today, i’m fine” Whom do you think she really likes between the two ?

The nonsense we consume on this app about relationships, loyalty and dating has affected most guys perspective on these things It’s crazyy

So I guess it’s safe to say men ability to listen is of no use to women Since we listen to understand and apply the knowledge we gained from listening. If the average man listen but refuses to apply the knowledge in his every day life then women will never be safe.

Women usually oscillate between a need for power and a need for victimhood. Which one they assume depends on what’s required and convenient. A woman will initiate games because she needs a sense of power. If the man refuses to play and she’s hurt, she suddenly becomes the victim.

It’s actually easier for them to walk away from us calm ones than from their abusive boyfriends 😂

Women don't notice you're unhappy until your unhappiness starts to affect them.

When you treat a woman too well, she doesn't think you're amazing. She thinks she is.

Niggas wanna be providers to the same women they're competing for jobs with. It's 2026 man.

Most women have no perception of romance outside of men doing things for them that cost money.

I really hate how you guys describe romance as something you just sit down and experience happening to you and not something you're actively participating in.

honestly, a man can love a woman into loving him, not sure if a woman can.

I'll never understand why men dont wanna be friends, like im super cool and funny you'd love me as a friend?
