“When he tells you that he likes your hair better down, wear it up until he learns how to like your hair that way. When he tells you that you’re spending way too much time with your independent sister and that he is afraid you’ll turn into her someday, set three plates out for dinner and let him know she’s on her way over. When he tells you that you should dress up for him more as you do for work, school and going out, put on your biggest t-shirt and comfiest pajama pants so he can’t see what’s underneath. When he tells you he wants space, that he wants time to think things through do not beg for him to stay or give him an ultimatum, just open the door. Give him his time and space but don’t be the one who has to leave. This isn’t about revenge, about getting even, about agitating him until he leaves without a goodbye. This is about your wants, your needs, your comfortability and about understanding what love really is. And if he doesn’t love you at your worst, at your scrubbiest, at your it’s all of me or nothing than he definitely doesn’t deserve you at your best, at your most beautiful, at your this is who I am.”
