If They Won’t Commit, Cut Them Out
If youโre interested in a serious commitment, but the person youโre seeing feels differently, the best thing you can do is walk away. No matter how much you like them, no matter how badly you want them to change their mind, you donโt want to sacrifice your own needs in order to keep them in your world. They clearly arenโt right for you if theyโre unable to give you the basics, so donโt convince yourself that itโs better to have half their heart than nothing at all. In reality, itโs better to have a heart that is capable of loving you fully than to settle for one that is incapable of giving you what you need.
If they arenโt interested in making a commitment, then you should step away. Donโt pretend that youโre okay with a situation that is secretly causing you heartbreak. Donโt act like you are on the same page as them when youโre interested in so much more because it will only cause resentment down the line. You deserve a partner who rises to your standards, not someone who only gives you breadcrumbs and expects you to feel satisfied.
If they wonโt commit, cut them out of your life because you shouldnโt sit around forever waiting for them to change. Thereโs a chance that they are going to remain firm in their decision, that they are never going to change their tune. You canโt hold onto someone because you have a beautiful vision of what a future together could look like. Itโs better to pay attention to today. How are they treating you now? Is this enough? If itโs not, then you should walk away because there is no guarantee that they are going to change their mind. Especially if they are warning you about their feelings right now.
If they wonโt commit, cut them out of your life so youโre able to find someone who wants to give you the things this person cannot. Someone who is excited to start their future with you because their feelings are as strong as your feelings, their intentions are the same as your intentions. Remember, love is not enough. You need aligning hopes and dreams, too. You need compatible expectations.
If they wonโt commit, choose yourself. Choose to do what is best for your own future, your own mental health, your own happiness and walk away. It might feel counterintuitive because it will make you upset at first, but down the line, this will be the best thing for you. You canโt settle for someone who wonโt meet your standards. You need to consider yourself a priority because this person is never going to do the same, but you can. Remember, requited love isnโt everything. Self-love matters, too.
If they wonโt commit, cut them out of your life because you deserve a real label. You deserve a real relationship. You deserve a real commitment. You are lovable. You are a catch. And you are going to find someone who fits you better โ and you need to start believing it.
