Don’t Settle

There can be a lot of pressure to couple, and those who don’t can face a lot of commentary and stigma. But you don’t need to be in a relationship. And you definitely don’t need to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t treat you with kindness or respect. It’s important to feel support, care, and mutuality in relationships. If you find that you’re doing all the work for someone who can’t be bothered to step up, makes you feel bad, or constantly disrespects you, then it’s probably time to move on. You can ask for what you need in your relationships. If you’re clearly vocalizing the tangible support you require from your pals, and it’s being ignored, that’s not love, and it’s not the type of relationship you need. Being stuck in a crappy situation is worse than being single every single time. 💜
