No disrespect to anyone, but God please don’t send me another man who doesn’t know how to communicate, take accountability, or emotionally show up. I don’t want a man who’s still battling himself, avoiding healing, depressed, or emotionally unavailable and refusing help. I don’t want a man who can’t stand firm, speak for himself, or take control of his own life. I don’t want a man who belongs to someone else, is still tied to past situations, or lacks compassion, empathy, patience, and romance. I’m not built to carry a grown man through life while neglecting myself. Dealing with someone like that will drain you mentally, emotionally, and physically. I want a partner who’s already doing the work, not one I have to break myself trying to fix. Keep that kind of man far away from me.
