Stop trying to convince him

Today I want to give you the most transformational piece of advice that I’ve ever received…

Stop trying to convince him.

Stop trying to convince him that your need is reasonable.

Stop trying to convince him that your feelings are valid.

Stop trying to convince him to contribute to the domestic load.

Stop trying to convince him to spend quality time with you.

Stop trying to convince him…

Period.

If you’ve experienced relationships where you needed to convince someone else that your need is valid enough to be heard, then you know how impossibly frustrating this dynamic can be.

I want you to know that you can have a relationship where your partner is excited to make you feel heard and to meet your needs.

And anyone who doesn’t have that level of concern for you (or the capacity to think outside of themselves) is not your person.

So, use this awareness when you’re dating. 

Don’t try to convince anyone that your standards are reasonable. 

If he doesn’t see what you deserve, he’s not right for you.

Keep your standards high and see what comes to you!
