See his inability to make you happy for what it is: He’s either incapable of loving you wholeheartedly or uninterested in giving you the relationship you want. Period.

subconsciously you’d rather be miserable with him than be alone, and it is this subconscious thought that will drive your behavior and make you do all sorts of seemingly irrational, self-destructive, and perhaps even manipulative things to keep him in your life.
If a guy doesn’t want you all to himself, he doesn’t want you, and must be treated as inconsequential.

You must perceive both your time and attention as being finite resources, because they are.

A man who rejects you, in your mind, must no longer exist. He is no longer a priority candidate for your love; he has forfeited ALL access to your time and attention.

They are also like those amusing individuals who love to go to car dealerships to test drive a particular make and model, over and over again, but they never buy. Once a guy is giving you all the signs that he’s just a perpetual sampler, cut off his access and get on with your life.
cutting contact with a guy communicates that you value your dignity and sanity more than you value being with him.
The main purpose for it is for you to maintain your dignity and to respect his choice by forcing him to live with it.
Don’t be a man’s ego firewood supplier.
The beauty about being a woman is that you have an immense and almost unfair amount of power and influence over what a man thinks about himself.
It’s always a bad deal because you’re cheating yourself out of the true fulfillment and unconditional love that comes from an emotionally healthy relationship with a man who wants you all to himself.
Do not allow feelings of guilt to cause you to rationalize your situation with a guy.
you must force him to live with his decision.
If he doesn’t want you as his woman, he does not want your support either. Period.
