If we’re in a misaligned one sided relationship, no matter what: there will be in pain. We’ll either feel the pain of constantly being disappointed and not having our needs met or the pain of the relationship (inevitably) ending. There’s no pain free option. May we choose the pain of walking away from what is not actively choosing us back. May we choose the pain of being alone instead of being lonely with someone who doesn’t have the capacity (or the desire) to meet us where we are.
