If They Wanted To Commit, They Would

This might be a tough pill to swallow for some of you, but if they wanted to commit to you, they would.

If they wanted to be with you, they would. Not only would they tell you they wanted to, but they would show you they do through their actions. They would put in the effort to make it work.

They like me and want to be with me, they just have trust issues.

They want to commit to me and only me, but they’re afraid of being hurt again.

They want to be with me, but long-distance freaks them out.

They like me, but they have commitment issues they’re trying to work on.

Stop creating these narratives in your head. Stop making excuses for their bare minimum behavior. Stop convincing yourself that they want to be with you if they’re not actively proving that to you.

If they like you and want to be with you, they will do everything in their power to make it work, no matter what.

You deserve someone who proves they like you and want to commit to you. You deserve someone who faces their fears of being hurt, who takes a chance at loving you. You deserve someone who puts effort into a long-distance relationship, despite any doubts or fears. You deserve someone who works through the kinks and flaws of the relationship. You deserve someone who shows you that despite any internal struggles they have about commitment, they want to try with you.

If they wanted to be with you, they would.
