All of the Issues I Didn’t Inform the Males I Dated As a result of I Was Afraid

I’ve not too long ago been reflecting on my relationship historical past and the way usually I did issues I wasn’t snug with as a substitute of talking up.

It might be straightforward to solely blame the boys I’ve been with, however I’ve acknowledged I performed a task by remaining silent as a substitute of speaking my needs and wishes and telling them after they have been pushing my limits.

I’ve performed a task in my very own disrespect by swallowing my fact and exhibiting a smile after I actually felt uncomfortable.

I notice that everybody’s experiences are totally different, however if you happen to can relate to what I wrote, maybe you would possibly respect these reminders I wrote for myself.
