The wrong man in your life will teach you strength through survival, he’ll teach you how to carry everything on your own because he refuses to help. He’ll leave you to pick up the pieces, to wipe your tears, to quiet your fears. He’ll sit back and watch you stretch yourself thin, balancing the world on your shoulders, never offering a hand, never stepping in. He’ll make you believe you’re “too much” when you ask for support, or “too needy” when you expect consistency.
And eventually, you’ll stop asking. You’ll stop expecting. You’ll just keep doing. You’ll learn never to depend on him. But the right man, oh, the right man will see your strength, and he’ll honor it.. but he won’t abuse it. He’ll know you’re capable of doing it all, but he won’t stand by and let you. He’ll step in beside you, not because you’re weak, but because you deserve partnership. He won’t let you fight every battle alone, carry every burden solo, or fall asleep every night exhausted from doing it all by yourself. He’ll lighten your load, not add to it.
The right man will admire your independence, but he won’t test it. He’ll recognize how hard you’ve worked to be strong, but he’ll give you a safe place to be soft. With him, you won’t have to be the strong one all the time. You won’t have to prove how much you can endure. With him, strength won’t feel like survival, it’ll feel like support. The wrong man will teach you to fend for yourself. The right man will remind you that you don’t have to. And that makes all the difference.
