Throughout my romantic life, l've let too many things slide. By either staying silent or speaking up but still settling for the bare minimum. I stayed because I was comfortable, even when it wasn't right. But at some point, you have to ask yourself if this will truly last long term. If you keep allowing disrespect and ignoring your own worth, no one else will value you either. My biggest advice: love yourself first. Don't walk away at the first problem, but if you've spoken up, tried, and nothing changes, know when it's time to leave.
