A woman came home and said: "A guy at the gym gave me his number today." "Okay." "He said if I ever get bored of you, I should call him." "Alright." "He also said I could do better." "..." "You're not even going to ask if I kept his number?" "No." "Why not? Doesn't that bother you?" "No." "You're not going to fight for me?" "Why would I?" "Because you love me." "I do love you." "But I don't compete with other men for a woman who's supposed to be committed to me." "If another man thinks he has a chance, it's usually because something made him believe he does." "And if I have to fight for your attention, your loyalty, your time, or your respect, then I've already lost something I shouldn't have to fight for." "So no, I'm not going to compete." "If you want him, choose him." "If what we have means that little to you, then he can have you." Because the truth is: A woman who genuinely values her relationship doesn't come home excited about another man's number. And a man with self-respect doesn't beg to be chosen.
