I think we begin to unlove someone when we realize we’re pouring everything into a relationship that no longer nurtures us in return.
It’s not a sudden moment; it’s the gradual weight of exhaustion from giving too much—our time, our sincerity, our love, our whole heart—and receiving less and less in return. You try to hold on, convincing yourself it will get better, but there’s always that quiet voice reminding you: you deserve more. You deserve the kind of love that feels mutual, where effort meets effort, and understanding goes both ways. When that voice grows louder than your desire to stay, you know it’s time to let go—not because you stopped caring, but because you finally started caring about yourself.
Love is supposed to feel like a shared journey, not a one-sided sacrifice. It’s meant to embrace, not manipulate; to consider, not dismiss. When your emotions and feelings are constantly overlooked, when you’re made to feel small or invisible, your heart starts to send signals. It’s not bitterness or anger—it’s just a realization that you’re worth more than being someone’s afterthought.
So, you choose to walk away, not out of hate or spite, but out of love for yourself. Because when you let go of something that drains you, you create space to grow, to heal, and to find the kind of love that truly meets you halfway.
