I know it was painful dear. I can see the sorrow in your eyes. It was wrong of you to trust someone with your heart. It was wrong of you to believe in his words. But, you fell for him anyway. You fell down the rabbit trap. You fell for the wrong person.
Still, no matter how much it hurts, you have to remember that it was just another lesson in life. You have to remind yourself that there’s more to life than that. You have to remember that…
1. People will always leave dear. That doesn’t mean that it will always be your fault. So, let go of your pain. Stop beating yourself up. It’s not that you weren’t good enough. It’s simply not your fault.
2. You have to accept the fact that some things won’t always work to your advantage. You can spend your whole time trying to make it work, but if something isn’t meant to be, it will never happen.
3. Love is not the only thing you need to make a relationship work. If you want a relationship to succeed you need tolerance, patience, trust, mutual understanding and the will to compromise. Without it, you are doomed.
4. And remember. The love you’ve given, is never in vain. It will eventually find its way back to you, I promise.
5. You’re all you’ve got. Don’t forget to spend some time on your own.
6. Remind yourself that every cloud has a silver lining. When one door closes, another one opens. After the rain, comes the sun.
7. Pleasing people won’t get you anywhere. You will never get anyone’s approval by satisfying their wishes. Accept yourself for who you, be your genuine self and keep moving.
8. Let’s be real. Someone who really loves you will do everything to keep you beside them. They will make huge efforts. And you wouldn’t have to remind them. Keep that in mind. Always.
9. Your heart is scarred, and your souls aching, but that is not a reason to give up on love. Don’t let them break you and turn your heart into a stone. What’s left in you will continue loving and hoping that one day you’ll meet the right person.
10. You are not a failure for trusting the wrong people. Accept this and let the truth be your most important life lesson.
11. It’s finally time to focus on yourself and make up for the time you’ve lost on all the wrong people. To make up for the sacrifices you’ve made for other people you believed would do the same in return.
12. Maybe it’s finally time for you to learn that you have to find your happiness within you. Maybe it’s time you finally realize that you can be happy and whole without holding someone’s hand.
13. The truth is, if you have to chase someone in order to be with them… Maybe they weren’t even meant to be with you after all.
14. In life, you’ll go through a lot of breakups, a lot of pain, and you’ll always carry everything with you. But, realizing that you are stronger than you thought will be the most important thing you’ll learn about yourself.
15. However, regardless of how painful life sometimes is, you’re now finally brave to fight for what you deserve and embrace the unpredictability in life.
16. Letting go is an important part in life. It’s making way for new, exciting things to enter your world. Don’t resist the changes.
17. Seeking revenge won’t give you the peace and love you desperately crave for. Focus on your wellbeing, and let karma do its work.
18. Stop looking for answers. Learn to rest and just live in the moment.
19. Life itself is a never-ending lesson. Just when you think you got it all figured out, it will strike you with the most unpredictable experience. Don’t run away from it. Do your best to learn something new from it.
20. Don’t waste your time looking for love. Don’t waste your life chasing people. Let love find you.
21. You are an amazing human being. You are a unique combination of traits and because of that, you my friend, are special. Don’t ever let someone convince you otherwise. Know your worth. Stand your ground. And never settle for less than you deserve.
Alpha female – a rare breed of bold, courageous, confident and independent human beings.
If you ask me, alpha women are the modern equivalent of the mythological Nordic female warriors – The Valkyries.
They don’t tolerate injustice. They don’t keep calm. They don’t stay silent. They are born to fight against oppression and enjoy their rights. They are here to earn their place and change this world from its very core.
Alpha women never bow down. They stand up for themselves, but most importantly, they encourage us to take what’s ours and to stand up for ourselves.
Someone once said, “Well-behaved women seldom make history.” I couldn’t agree more with this statement. (1)
So, here are 12 reasons why every fearless, strong, boss lady differs from other women:
1. THEY ARE HAPPY ALONE, BUT OPEN TO LOVE TO FIND THEM
These strong women are fulfilled and happy on their own. They don’t perceive relationships as something that should make them complete. They don’t see love as something that should make them feel better. They are whole on their own but open to true love to eventually find them.
2. THEY LIVE A LIFE THEY ENJOY
Joie de vivre. If there’s one thing they maximize in life, then that is the art of joyous living. Whether they’re single, taken, married, or alone, they live a life they enjoy. They take pleasure in simple things. And they are not afraid to experience everything life has to offer.
3. THEY LEARN FROM THE PAST
Alpha female doesn’t waste their time on past mistakes. They know that once the lessons have been learned, the best thing they can do is put their newfound wisdom to use and improve their lives by embracing any change that comes their way.
4. THEY ALWAYS MAKE THE FIRST MOVE
You’re wrong if you think that an alpha woman will sit around and wait for things to fall out of the sky. These fearless, badass ladies are the ones that always make the first move. It’s just not in their nature to stay silent and let others take the lead.
5. THEY ARE CONFIDENT WITH WHO THEY ARE
Big, small, overweight, thin, yellow, black, different, they’re confident with who they are. They don’t stress their physical appearance and don’t try to change themselves to suit others. Alpha ladies are perfectly comfortable in their skin.
6. THEY DON’T WASTE THEIR LIFE WISHING
Alpha women never wait for fate to determine their path in life. They like to take things into their own hands and choose their own journey. Life is not about secretly wishing for something, it’s about working hard, growing, learning, and evolving.
7. THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO LEAVE
When something is hurting them, or bothering them in any way, alpha females are not afraid to walk away or say it out loud. They would rather be alone in this world than accept to be around people who mistreat them.
8. THEY HAVE STRICT BOUNDARIES
As said before, strong, alpha women don’t let anyone violate their boundaries. They would rather be alone than be with someone who disrespects them. It’s simple. Do not trespass if you don’t have the authorization to do so!
9. THEY NEVER PLAY THE VICTIM
Alpha women are perfectly aware of their insecurities, emotions, and wounds. They’ve been through all of it in their head. They’ve worked hard on themselves to know exactly where they stand in life. Therefore, they would never let anyone put them in a certain position where they would have to be the victim.
10. THEY DARE TO GO FOR THE THINGS THEY WANT
They do it. Alpha women don’t wait for anyone, whether it’s their goals or a certain duty that needs to be accomplished. They dare to go for everything they want. And if you ask me, that is the only effective way to reach success.
11. THEY HATE DRAMA
Guess why? Because these human beings have nothing but genuine emotion inside their hearts. Drama is not their scene.
12. THEY SEE THEMSELVES AS AN INVESTMENT
They’ve realized that both their body and mind are their temples. The only way for those sacred temples to endure the test of time is to take good care of them. That means working out, nourishing their body and soul, maintaining good mental health, and continuously learning more in order to be happier, healthier, and more successful in life.
What Are Alpha Females Attracted To?
An alpha female knows exactly what qualities she’s looking for in a man. She’s attracted to a man who is independent, strong, confident, and ambitious as she is. She is attracted to a man who knows what his main priorities in life are and who is not afraid to pursue his goals.
But, most importantly, an alpha female is attracted to a man who is not afraid to commit. A man who values relationships and has no time to blow hot and cold about her.
There’s one type of man an alpha female would never allow herself to be in a relationship with – the beta male. An alpha female and a beta male are incompatible. A confident, brave, and direct woman, just like the alpha female, can’t stand to be with someone who is not assertive with her, dependent, meek, and reserved, and who can’t keep up with her in every aspect of life.
In what follows, we’ve presented the five most common qualities the men alpha females are attracted to possess:
1. HE RESPECTS HER
What an alpha female values most in a relationship is respect. She treats her partner with respect and dignity and she wants to be treated the same way.
The man an alpha woman is attracted to knows her worth. He knows the challenges and struggles she’s gone through to become the woman she is today, and he never underestimates her importance.
2. HE CHALLENGES HER
She’s smart and fierce, but he knows she can be and do better. So he challenges her to learn new things, broaden her knowledge, and be more resilient.
3. HE KEEPS HIS PROMISES
When he promises to do something, he keeps his word. He doesn’t make promises he knows he can’t keep. He is responsible and stable, just like an alpha woman is.
4. HE IS HONEST
He doesn’t beat around the bush, he always tells it like it is. He doesn’t like keeping secrets from his partner, and he always tells the truth, no matter how harsh it is.
5. HE IS AMBITIOUS
He knows his priorities, has clear goals, and does everything in his power to achieve them. More importantly, he is not afraid of failure. He sees failures as valuable lessons and an opportunity to invest more effort in pursuing his goals and fulfilling his dreams.
What Is An Alpha Female In A Relationship?
Just because alpha women are independent, confident, and strong, many people think that they don’t like being in a relationship or that they’re unfair and bossy when they’re in a relationship. But, nothing could be further from the truth.
An alpha woman can be an amazing partner, and she highly values relationships.
Being in a relationship with an alpha female can be the most extraordinary and wonderful experience anyone can have. In what follows, we’ve presented eight reasons why this is so.
1. SHE IS LOYAL
An alpha female is fiercely loyal to her partner. Infidelity is what she hates the most. When she is in a relationship, she utterly commits to her man.
2. SHE IS INDEPENDENT
An alpha female is a highly independent person, and she doesn’t let anyone compromise that. When an important decision has to be made, she doesn’t wait for her partner to say the final word. She’s smart enough to make her own decisions. And when it comes to romantic dinners, trips, and holidays, she doesn’t wait for her partner to organize every event. She’s resourceful enough to organize everything by herself.
3. SHE EXPRESSES HER FEELINGS OPENLY
An alpha female may appear reserved, but she is the opposite of that. She’s not ashamed or afraid to show her feelings and be vulnerable around her partner. When she’s happy, she laughs and spreads positivity everywhere around her. When she’s sad, she cries without trying to hide her tears. She showers her partner with love and affection when she is in love. And more importantly, she’s aware of her weaknesses, and she’s not ashamed to show them to her man.
4. SHE TREATS HER PARTNER WITH RESPECT
As we already said, alpha females, value mutual respect in a relationship. An alpha woman respects her partner’s feelings, decisions, boundaries, and opinions no matter how different they are from her own. She also treats his friends and family with respect and dignity. In her opinion, respect is the foundation upon which any healthy and strong relationship is built.
5. SHE IS SUPPORTIVE AND COMPASSIONATE
Yes, you read that right. She never lets her partner deal with his problems on his own. She’s there to offer him help and support whenever he’s struggling with a problem or having trouble making an important decision.
She is also there to encourage her partner to keep pursuing his goals and work on becoming the best version of himself.
6. SHE HAS A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR
You may think alpha females are serious and don’t like sharing jokes, but they’re one of the wittiest people. They know how to make you laugh, even when you’re in a bad mood, and they enjoy telling good, funny jokes.
7. SHE TAKES RESPONSIBILITY
When an alpha female makes a mistake, she admits it and does everything in her power to correct it. She doesn’t hold other people accountable for her own failures and mistakes. Such behavior can never be shown by someone who is mature and responsible. (2)
8. SHE DEALS WITH PROBLEMS CALMLY AND MATURELY
Every couple faces problems in their relationship, and alpha females are well aware of this. An alpha woman doesn’t have time for drama and bitter arguments. She’s not the type of person who would sweep problems under the carpet to avoid dealing with them openly. Instead, whenever a problem occurs in her relationship or when she disagrees with her partner over something, she lays her cards on the table and does her best to overcome it.
How Do You Deal With An Alpha Female In A Relationship?
1. ALWAYS BE YOUR TRUE SELF WITH HER
An alpha female has no time to play little mind games. That’s why you always need to be genuine with her. Show her your feelings openly. Share your fears, insecurities, weaknesses, failures, priorities, and goals with her. Let her know who you are without hiding anything about yourself.
2. DON’T COMPETE WITH HER
Don’t try to show her that you’re more independent, smarter, more confident, and more assertive than she is.
Never allow yourself to make her think that you can’t handle being in a relationship with a fierce, bold, and driven woman.
If she is more successful and has greater achievements than you, show her that you’re proud of her. Show her that you want her to be even better in every aspect of life. And more importantly, show her that you’ll always be there to support her.
3. RESPECT HER INDIVIDUALITY
Alpha females don’t run in packs. They are not like the women you’ve met in your life. They live their life in accordance with their own beliefs, values, and rules. They don’t follow the herd. Instead, they make their own judgments as individuals.
4. TREAT HER WITH KINDNESS
Don’t lie to her. Don’t treat her like she is inferior to you. Do not prioritize your opinions, priorities, and goals over her own. Don’t be impatient with her. Instead, treat her with patience and kindness.
Respect her feelings, needs, and opinions. Be always there for her. Support her. Believe in her. And show her that you’re aware of her worth.
5. RESPECT HER BOUNDARIES
Never expect an alpha woman to be clingy or too emotional. She’s nothing like the women from your past relationships.
When you notice she’s worrying about something or trying to solve a problem, give her space to think things through.
When she says ‘no,’ she means ‘no’ – don’t try to change her opinion.
And most importantly, respect her time, freedom, independence, and need for boundaries.
6. DON’T BE SUSPICIOUS OF HER
Perhaps you’ve been in relationships in which you were lied to or cheated on. But don’t think you’ll have to go through the same things in this new relationship. An alpha female has no time for such games.
So, if she has a solid group of friends and likes to often hang out with them, or if she comes home late from work several times, don’t take this as a sign that she’s cheating on you. And if you want to keep her, make sure you never accuse her of being unfaithful.
7. LISTEN TO HER ATTENTIVELY
Don’t ever think that you can read her mind. You can never know what she is thinking. When an alpha female talks, that’s because she has something smart to say. So, always listen to her carefully. Don’t respond to her without listening to her. And allow her to express her opinions openly.
How Do You Know If You Are The Alpha Female?
If you possess the following traits, this is a sure sign that you belong to the category of alpha females.
You are confident in yourself.
You are strong and bold.
You know what you want in life and how to get it.
You live your life in accordance with your own values, beliefs, and rules.
You’re ambitious.
You inspire other people around you.
You’re well respected.
You encourage others to be their true and best selves.
You have strong leadership skills.
You always find a way to achieve your goals.
You admit your mistakes and take responsibility for your actions.
You can’t tolerate negative, irresponsible, selfish, and envious people.
You’re not afraid of failures.
You work on yourself and want to become a better version of yourself.
Let’s make things clear and let everything out in the open.
There’s a huge difference between a man who has just discovered the rules of dating and has no experiences and a man who’s been through a lot and still chose to follow the ‘douchebag’ road in life.
I mean come on… what good can come of dating someone who doesn’t bother to date you properly?
What good can come of being with a man who doesn’t seem to care about you the way you care about him?
Hanging out is not dating, people. Seeing someone once in a week and wondering whether they’re interested in you because they haven’t called you back, isn’t a relationship. If you ask for my opinion, it’s bulls*it.
If a man is too afraid to take you out in public and hold your hand, then maybe, he’s not the one for you. The real person won’t be terrified of hearing the word commitment. He won’t run for the hills once you show your first sign of affection.
On the contrary, he will do everything he can to let you know how special and loved he feels. He won’t hesitate to open his heart to you, and he won’t be embarrassed to share every secret, every thought and every opinion with you because he will finally feel comfortable in its own skin.
You deserve more.
You are worth more than gold, darling.
You are worth more than you actually accept.
You shouldn’t be waiting for all eternity for him to answer. You shouldn’t accept his manipulative, immature games. You shouldn’t settle for less. You shouldn’t believe him just because he swears what he’s saying it’s true. You shouldn’t let him force you to do anything you don’t want. You shouldn’t pretend there’s something between you, when there clearly isn’t.
You deserve to be appreciated and loved for who you are. You deserve to be with a man who treats you with respect and kindness. You deserve to be with someone who is thrilled about spending time with you.
I know that modern dating is really tough nowadays, but you have to believe me, good guys aren’t a myth. They are real, only they’re the rarest of the rare species these days.
I’m not saying it will be easy to find this person, but once you do, every struggle and every tear you shed will be worth it. I promise.
Because… The right guy… He will know how to love you. The love you desperately craved for will finally wrap its hands around you and it will alleviate you. It will change everything you once believed was true.
So, if he ignores your concerns, if he doesn’t bother to date you properly, and he avoids revealing his true emotions about where is your relationship going, maybe after all, he’s not the one for you. Don’t try to justify his behavior, don’t even try to look for a hidden message behind his actions.
The sooner you realize that some things are not worth fighting for, the better off you’ll be.
Life is too short, my dear. Real love is totally worth waiting for.
Are you tired of constantly having to adapt to changes and keeping up with the latest trends in contemporary culture? Do you often wish to just stop right where you are, put down roots, and stand firm, but then again, you’re afraid that if you do that, others will see you as conservative, unadaptable, and reactionary? Well, if your answer is yes then know, you’re not alone.
Many will wonder why would someone rather put down roots and resist change than fit in the accelerating culture we live in? The culture which is characterized by dynamic concepts, such as transformation, development, learning, and innovation. The culture where change is the only constant.
Change. That’s the key concept, but also the reason why most of us lack purpose and direction in life. We’re constantly on a journey looking for the latest recipe for happiness and success. We’re constantly chasing the latest trends and trying to be one step before the others as well.
And while we’re trying to adapt to our surroundings and self-develop, we’re missing out on the important aspects of life: peace of mind, self-control, dignity, and sense of duty towards others.
So, that’s why the idea of standing firm and resisting change should be given more attention. Because the various problems we’re daily faced with – economic, ecological, psychological, or political are the result of a philosophy of constant change and growth.
Standing firm doesn’t mean you’re conservative or rigid. It simply means you’re able to accept what you are and what you have rather than constantly adapting and developing. Standing firm prepares you to cope with future adversities and enables you to accept your responsibilities, and especially, duties towards others.
I know there are people who simply don’t want to put down roots – they’re doing well in the accelerating culture. And I’m aware, too, that it’s important for children and young people to be able to adapt and develop, but as adults, we should be capable of standing firm.
Because if we’re not, as time passes, we run the risk of losing integrity and missing out on the important aspects of life mentioned previously.
You need to understand that the road to happiness and success is not through self-developing and adapting, but through standing firm on your own ground. It’s not through finding yourself, but through living with yourself.
This leads us to one of the most pervasive concepts in contemporary culture – the concept of finding yourself by listening to your gut feelings.
If you’ve ever doubted anything, (and I’m sure you have), you’ve probably asked your parents, friends, or partner: “What do you think I should do?” and you were likely told: “The answer you’re looking for lies within yourself.” You were told to follow your gut feelings. But the truth is, you won’t find answers by looking inwards.
For example, if someone is in trouble and comes to ask for your help, there’s no point whatsoever basing your reaction on how helping that person would make you feel.
Instead, you think about the person who needs help and about what they actually say, and not about how their words make you feel.
It’s important to understand that instead of looking inwards you should be open to what surrounds you: other people, nature, and culture.
You need to understand that it isn’t a feeling inside of you that determines whether you’re doing the right thing. That the self does not hold the key to how to live your life.
The concept of finding yourself and self-developing is so pervasive that it’s become a part of all spheres in society. For example, students are expected to look for answers not only in textbooks but by exploring their inner selves. Employers send us on personal development courses so that we can explore our abilities and competencies.
But, the question is: “Has the focus on exploring ourselves and following our gut feelings brought us any good? Have we really found ourselves or is this even possible?”
Well, I don’t think so.
But are your gut feelings really worth listening to? For example, what if they tell you that you should go for your new attractive colleague although he or she already has a partner? Or what if you feel like you could eat a whole bag of peanut butter chips, but you’re allergic to peanuts. Would you still eat it?
Yes, gut feelings are not sensible and reliable. You need to understand that you can’t navigate through life by relying on them. They have no value.
But, what does have inherent value is fulfilling your duty to the people you’re interconnected. Oftentimes, the journey to find yourself leads to others being sacrificed and this makes it impossible for you to fulfill your obligations to others.
And, just to make it clear – I’m not saying that you should never trust your “inner voice”, but you should always take it with a dose of healthy skepticism.
Last words, if we all understand that standing firm in a society that cultivates individuals who are adaptable and constantly focused on self-development and self-realization is not a sin or a tragedy, everyone will see how fulfilling and rewarding this can be.
Because those who reject the whole ideology of finding and developing yourself have more chance of living a life with a certain degree of integrity and sticking to what is important in their life.
Youth is a period of making merry, socialising, hanging out with friends, paying regular visits to cafes and bars, and most importantly the carefree attitude, for most of us. We live in the present and do not care much about our future, thinking we have ample time to do so.
There are very few people who care to start budgeting and to save for future, in their youth. They generally live happier and relaxed lives in their future lives.
We all make mistakes, and not saving and investing money in our initial years force us to borrow money, putting us under the debts. Our lives revolve around ways to meet the, and we lose all the fun that life has to offer.
There are millennial money mistakes, but we are going to discuss some of them:
Failing to Plan: Young people live for today. They neglect the expenses they make every week to pubs, bars, cafes, parties, and many more. Our money is limited, so we must wisely decide where to spend and where to curtail it. We must balance our needs and wants and save money for emergencies and future use.
Leaning too much on Parents: Some parents are generous enough to provide with all the luxuries to their children, making them dependent on them for their lives. They do not teach them the ways to earn and manage their hard earned money.
Rushing to Pay-Off Student Loan Debt: It is natural trying to shed off debt as soon as possible, but people must balance their approach towards payment of loans. Ending up your obligations in 5 years will leave you with zero savings. A small mishap or an accident can put you back on borrowing money, so effective management of funds is necessary where you keep some amount aside for emergencies.
Giving-Up on a Chosen Career: People who do not get jobs in their fields end up working at unsatisfactory places. Unable to get a professional workforce in the early 20s put your earning potential at stake for a lifetime.
Not Building Credit: Not having a good credit history to your name often acts as a barrier when trying to get loans for housing, car, or any other use.
Postponing Saving for Retirement: It is a major concern as many of us do not think much about our retirement in our 20s and 30s. If we start late, we get less compound interest to reach our goals. It is wise to save at least 5% of our income for retirement.
Not Carrying Health Insurance: It is a common saying ‘Health is Wealth’. If we are healthy, we are in a better position to work and earn. We must try to invest in good health insurance plans and save ourselves from substantial hospital bills.
Rushing to Buy a Home: Owning a home must not be the impulsive decision. We need to wait for the right time and resources.
We’ve seen how mismanagement of money and unplanned decisions can ruin our present lives as well as our future.
Communication is the most important skill you can possess. It’s an essential part of our lives and our relationships. Nothing ever happens, nor flows without an open and honest communication.
Imagine a well-built, 100-year-old house. A house that had successfully stood the test of time. A house that had survived many hailstorms, many thunderstorms, many hurricanes, many powerful quakes and stayed intact as proof of its endurance.
How is it possible, you may ask? How come it hasn’t crushed by now?
Well, the most important thing about this house is its foundation. The whole structure of the house lies on a rock-hard base. A substructure that has been made with a significant amount of effort and many hours of hard work.
But, how does this house has anything to do with communication?
Well, it’s pretty much the same when it comes to relationships.
Communication is the most important part of a relationship. A relationship cannot grow if you don’t share your opinions and discuss your issues. It cannot strengthen if you are too afraid to open up and express your true emotions. It cannot possibly survive if you don’t communicate with your partner.
“Communication is the lifeline of any relationship. Without it, the relationship will starve itself to death.” – Elizabeth Bourgeret
Here are 7 negative communication signs that indicate you might be dealing with a toxic boyfriend:
1. HE DOESN’T BOTHER TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
If your partner doesn’t care about what you have to say and immediately cuts you off as you start to speak, this is a code red situation. The most important thing a relationship needs in order to grow stronger is mutual understanding and honest communication.
If they don’t even try to understand you, if they refuse to communicate or they avoid any kind of direct confrontation, your relationship needs some real work. Try to discuss this with them and point out what you think is a mistake.
2. HE’S PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE
I’ve never understood why people would rather hide their pain away and bottle their feelings instead of opening up and try communicating about the root of their problems.
However, it’s still a very common behavior for most of us. Some people tend to withdraw to avoid conflict by repressing their anger, but then there are some who use their silence as a way to punish their partners. If this is happening to you, don’t hesitate to talk things through. Approach them in a calm manner and try to get to the root of the problem.
3. HE DOESN’T WANT TO EXPRESS HIS EMOTIONS
If you catch yourself that you’re walking on eggshells trying to decipher your partner’s emotions, it is clear that the communication is simply not there. A couple who doesn’t work on their connection and intimacy is doomed from the very start. Love isn’t about wondering whether the person next to you wants you. It is about being completely honest with yourself and them.
4. HE HAS CONSTANT MOOD SWINGS AND ANGRY OUTBURSTS
If anger has become a part of your relationship, that is the first red flag. The only way this can be eliminated is through communication, but if you two can’t seem to meet each other halfway, then the problem is even bigger than you thought.
Anger can be manifested as sarcasm, and sarcasm can be very harmful to the relationship. Especially if you two have some unresolved issues. If you see that your partner is expressing his anger in unacceptable ways and they have constant mood swings, it’s better for you to rethink where your relationship is going.
5. HE’S HERE, BUT HE MAKES YOU FEEL LONELY
A good, honest and healthy relationship isn’t supposed to make you feel lonely. It’s supposed to lift you up, help you fly even higher and become the best version of yourself. So, if this is how you’re feeling lately, maybe you need to start working on your communication. Does your partner avoid confronting you? And if they do, is there any reason why is that happening to you?
Don’t avoid these questions. You need to work as a team and communicate your problems, differences, and visions in a productive manner. Unresolved issues will never work out on its own, repressed anger will never fade away unless you treat it. Remember that.
No, she’s not demanding, difficult, mean or overly-attached.
And no, she’s not naive for believing in love.
She might seem like she’s hard to love, but that is only because she’s the type of girl who knows exactly what she needs and never settles for less than the real thing.
No one can ever change that.
You see, for her, love is the only thing worth fighting for. For her, love is everything. It’s what makes this cruel world a better place. It’s what helps us humans become more aware of our existence and kinder to everyone around us.
So, hear me out.
This girl might seem like she’s too difficult to love, she might seem like she’s too complicated and overprotective, but it is her complexity that makes her who she really is. The best thing that ever happened to you.
You may not see it now, but this woman is worth holding onto. Don’t be mistaken by her overprotective behavior. She’s just a vulnerable soul who has already been through a lot. She needs to find a way to protect herself. Otherwise, she’ll suffer again.
She’s terrified of what the world has become today. She’s scared to love again. She’s afraid to open up and reveal her secrets and her deepest emotions to you.
That is why you need to help her. You need to be patient and tolerant with her even if it is too hard. Because it’s exactly those last moments that will reveal to her just how much you’re willing to put up with to keep her.
A woman who seems hard to love is a woman worth holding onto, believe me.
Because this woman will challenge you. She will improve your life and help you rise above the ordinary. She won’t always make life easy for you, but she will help you grow.
This woman will always fight for your love. Once she sees that you’re the one for her and once you’ve earned her trust, she’ll be on your side forever. She will make a promise to be in it for the long run, no matter how hard life gets.
This woman will take her time before she opens up. It will take a while before she’s finally free and comfortable to be who she is in front of you. But, when she finally lets you in, you’ll get to share your whole lives together.
This woman will always be loyal. No matter where life takes you and no matter how difficult it gets, once you show her that all of this is for real, she’ll give her heart and soul to you.
This woman has already dealt with enough bulls*it in life. That is why she’s too cautious. It will be difficult for you to win her affection because she carries her pain deep inside and all she wants from you is your patience.
Once you make her feel like home and give her the time she needs, she’ll inspire such emotional vulnerability in you that you’ll be surprised by your own deep feelings.
She might be tough to love. Breaking the walls around her might be the hardest thing you’ve ever done, but believe me, once you get to her and earn her trust, it will all be worth it.
Hold onto her. I promise you, this decision will be the best thing you’ve ever done for yourself.
Breakups are an unpleasant and hard experience, but surviving a relationship with a narcissist is even harder. Dating a narcissistic person is draining. It’s painful. It feels like you’re trapped in a huge black hole with no way out.
Besides having a self-inflated image of themselves, narcissists possess highly developed manipulation skills. They’ll put on a pleasant, kind, loving face and shower you with affection and compliments so as to make you fall in love with them. But once they lure you into their trap, their manipulation games won’t stop. In fact, that’s the point where the real nightmare begins.
These emotionally unavailable, inconsiderate, conceited people will make you feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster. They’ll make you feel inferior to and less important than them so as to boost their ego. They’ll make you seek their approval and depend on them. They’ll even make you disregard your own feelings and needs and doubt your logic and sanity.
So, if you’ve been in such draining, detrimental, unbearable relationship, but somehow managed to escape their toxic trap, let me congratulate you. You were really lucky.
Here are 8 signs you’re finally out of the toxic relationship and you’re getting over your narcissistic a**hole of an ex:
1. You easily detect false flattery.
You’re no longer fooled by sweet words and compliments. You’re no longer fooled by fake kindness and smile. You don’t allow to be manipulated by false flattery.
Now you’re wiser and aware that fake, dishonest people hide their true colors and wicked intentions behind compliments they don’t mean and grandiose promises they never intend to keep. Now, you’re able to tell when a person is genuine and completely honest with you.
2. You don’t want to contact them anymore.
You’re no longer making excuses for their lies, broken promises, and insults. You’re no longer trying to justify the way they treated you. After the breakup, it was hard for you at the beginning to resist the desire to call or text them, but now you no longer feel the urge to communicate with them. This is a sure sign you’re getting over and leaving them in your past.
3. You ignore their attempts to contact you as well.
When your narcissistic a**hole of an ex tries to crawl back into your life, you don’t feel desperate to accept them with open arms. You’re aware that they’re willing to do anything they can to lure you into their dangerous trap and therefore you maintain distance from them.
Whenever you see their name on your phone screen or their message pops up in your inbox on Facebook, you don’t feel the intense need to respond because they’re history. Yes, you’re definitively over them.
4. You’re flourishing in life without their control.
While you were in the relationship, the only thing you cared about was to take care of their needs and make them happy. But, now that you’re finally out of that vile, toxic cycle, you’re able to regain control over your life.
You make your feelings, needs, and desires your main priority. You don’t modify your decisions and interests according to their preferences. You have a lot of time to focus on improving yourself both personally and professionally and pursuing your goals and dreams.
5. You have even started sharing your experience with others in similar situations.
This is a sure sign that not only have you regained your own sense of self and saved yourself from their wicked claws, but you have also begun helping others with similar experiences.
It’s important to you to help those people through their hard times and inspire them with your own experience to regain control over their life and move on.
6. Your overall health has improved.
While you were in the relationship, you were used to feeling stressed out and anxious all the time. The chances are all this had a detrimental effect on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. But now that’s all gone.
You feel fresh, calm, and confident. Your mind is no longer struggling with doubts and negative thoughts. You no longer doubt your self-worth. You feel much better and finally, your gorgeous smile is back. Congratulations, you managed to heal on your own.
7. You don’t give a damn if they date someone else.
You don’t care about what’s going on in their life, and you definitely don’t give a damn about their relationship status. Stalking them on the social media is totally out of the question.
If you find out that they’re dating someone else, you won’t feel jealous, sad, or hurt. Hell, no! Instead, you’ll feel sorry for their poor new prey because you know what will happen to them soon. And one thing’s for sure – you’ll never be their victim again.
8. Your life is finally about you.
You know you’re over your narcissistic ex when you have found yourself. You’ve started taking things under your own control. You’re the one who decides how you’re going to spend the day, where you’ll go at the weekend, or whether you’ll eat fruit salad or burger for breakfast. You don’t let anyone dictate the course of your life.
You feel free to express your feelings and share your opinions with others. You’re living your life to the fullest.

There’s nothing more fulfilling and magical than when you hear those three powerful words I love you, especially when they’re honestly uttered by the person you love the most. Yet, when it comes to men and dating, reading their mind can be a tricky thing. Unlike women, most men aren’t that vocal about their feelings.
That’s why women often feel confused about and may even doubt their guy’s feelings for them. But, just because men don’t talk about love or say I love you as often as we do, it doesn’t mean they’re unable to love. The truth is, to men, it’s actions that matter, not words.
Here is how your man shows he’s completely in love with you:
1. He accepts you the way you are.
This man loves and cherishes you the way you are. He knows all your quirks, annoying habits, and insecurities, but he never criticizes you for them or makes you feel unimportant. He knows that they make the person you are – the person that means the world to him.
This man makes you feel comfortable in your own skin and reminds you of your worth.
2. He listens to you.
When you talk, he gives your words his full attention. He is not just physically present there, nodding his head, while his mind is wandering off elsewhere. Instead, he patiently listens to you.
Whether you’re complaining about your friend or talk about how stressful your day was at work, he listens to you attentively because your opinions, ideas, and problems matter to him.
3. He’s willing to make sacrifices for you.
You’re the person he loves the most. That’s why he’s more than willing to make sacrifices so as to make you feel happy and show how much you mean to him.
The thought of you being unhappy terrifies him. And if there’s something he can do to prevent this, he will do it– never doubt that. This man is always ready to sacrifice his time, temporary needs, and even his own happiness if need be so as to make you feel happy and fulfilled.
4. He shows his vulnerable sides.
He doesn’t think that showing his vulnerabilities will make him feel emasculated and look weak. He’s not ashamed or afraid to show his soft side and feelings for you.
This man lets his guard down in your presence. He talks to you about his weaknesses, insecurities, and deepest fears. This shows that he fully trusts you and feels he can be himself when he’s around you.
5. He loves how you look on your worst days.
The man who is completely in love with you will always find you beautiful and sexy. Whether you’re not wearing any make-up, or having an awful hair day, or your shirt is stained, you always look irresistible to him.
He likes it and it flatters him when you make an effort to look your best, but you should know that he loves the woman who is beneath all that make-up, fancy hairstyle, and pretty clothes.
6. He protects you.
This man always has your back. He goes out of his way to make you feel safe and protected and he does everything he can to keep that smile of yours always shine.
He never lets anyone insult and belittle you, and hurt your feelings in his presence. But, most importantly, he’ll never allow himself to be the reason for your sadness.
7. He respects your loved ones.
You know your man truly loves you when he treats your family and friends with respect. He knows how much they are important to you and therefore he treats them with kindness and dignity.
Although he might not really like your nosy cousin, he’ll keep his opinion to himself and he’ll never pick up a fight with or disrespect them. This man does his best to get on well with your friends and family because he knows that means a lot to you and makes you happy.
8. He is proud of you.
He’s proud of everything you are and everything you do. He knows how hard you work to achieve the things you want in life. He’s proud of all your successes, whether they’re related to your career or personal life.
He’s fascinated by your energy and determination to always work on yourself and create a better life for yourself.
And by bettering yourself, you inspire him to believe in himself, pursue his goals and passions, and achieve success in all aspects of life.
This is how the man who is truly and madly in love with you shows his love for you.
