hurts so good
why do girls stay in abusive relationships? sometimes they're not even WITH the person and they still take shit.
GIRLS: don't lower your expectations, change what you want, or accept the role you've been assigned just because something is better than nothing.
i think girls stick in shitty relationships or put up with abuse because
1. they get some kind of ego boost and feeling of self worth if they can change the guy. how often does that REALLY happen though? i mean REALLY? especially with douches that are ok with stringing a girl along in the first place
2. they're afraid of losing something that at one point made them happy and they don't want to regret their decision of letting him go...so they end up sticking around because their relationship is a huge comfort blanket.
3. they're afraid of missing that 'chance' of the guy changing his mind on wanting a girlfriend.
4. being something to him is better than not having him in your life at all. just because you're afraid of being alone doesn't mean you should settle. no company is better than bad company.
i completely understand that each relationship is different and have backstories that can complicate why people stick together, but if this person that is supposed to make you happy, isn't making you happy anymore or giving you what you want but they continue to get theirs, why not cut your losses and move on? girls, just because you want him doesn't mean you should put up with all this shit to get it or keep it. guys are so simple but girls always complicate things. as norah's dad would say, "YOU HAVE TO RESPECT YOURSELF"
