This is the plight of dating men who can only give you half of them. You work with them, build them up, heal them, then one day he says some sideways shit and you snap because you been bottlenecking your feelings. You split and they are with someone else being great...

The real thing is that we have to stop dating men who have potential AND SPECIFICALLY no follow thru. Attaining wealth is cute, attaining stability is more important but it’s imperative you meet someone who drive and ambition meets your own.

I don’t care if he is blue collar, white collar, or a small business owner. If he’s complacent. He will only get so far and you will have to foot the bill financially, physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

Now this may look like a read and attack on men but truth is, patriarchy allows this space for men to reach full adulthood and not have to grind, push, and thrive at the same capacity that women have to all day, all the time regardless if she’s a housewife to a sex worker.

Women I say this clearly. You have suffered enough. If a man can’t meet you we’re you are and put forth the same effort as you are. It’s ok to let him go. Regard your peace. We men will siphon the last out of you if you allow us.

Brothers stop holding folks hostage with your potential. It’s reductive and toxic. You are literally holding someone back from their greatness. I understand that you are work in progress but how long do you expect people to keep deferring their dreams and goals for you?
