Dear heart

A woman's desire to be provided for is paid for by a man with his time, money, energy, and freedom. But a man wanting loyalty, appreciation, and peace is somehow called 'asking for too much.

Let's talk about it.

A woman's desire to be provided for is paid for by a man with his time, money, energy, and freedom. But a man wanting loyalty, appreciation, and peace is somehow called 'asking for too much. How does that make sense?

A man will work 10, 12 hours a day. Overtime. Two jobs. Stress, pressure, no sleep, just to pay the bills, to buy her the life she wants, to make sure she doesn't have to worry. He gives his time, his money, his energy, his freedom.

And what does he ask for in return? Not millions. Not shopping sprees. Just loyalty. Just appreciation. Just peace when he comes home. Just a woman who is faithful, grateful, and calm.

And somehow that's too much? Somehow wanting respect after giving everything is controlling? If providing is love, then loyalty and peace is love too.

What altered my brain chemistry was the realization that the most reliable person you know is always a woman.

Always.

What altered my brain chemistry was the realization that the most reliable person you know is always a woman. Think about it. When you need help, who shows up? A woman.

Your mom is the one who never sleeps when you're sick. Your sister is the one who remembers your birthday without Facebook reminding her. Your best friend is the one who answers the phone at 3am when you are crying.

Women are the ones who keep families together. Who organize everything, remember everything, carry everything. Who work, cook, clean, love, and still have the energy to check on everyone else.

Men say they are the strong ones, but who is really the strong one? The woman who goes through heartbreak and still loves. Who goes through childbirth and still smiles. Who gets disappointed over and over and still shows up for people.

The most reliable person you know is always a woman.

If a woman leaves you for the sake of her mental well-being, not because of another man, I hate to tell you this, but you failed in your role as a man. That's simply the truth.

She didn't leave because she wanted someone else. She left because being with you was hurting her. She left because staying was costing her peace, her sleep, her health, her happiness. And that is not something another man caused. That's something you caused.

Your role as a man was to be her peace, not her problem. To be her safe place, not the reason she needs one. To protect her mental health, not destroy it.

A woman who loves a man will endure a lot to stay. So if she chose to leave even though she still loved you, just to save herself, you need to understand how heavy that decision was. She didn't leave for attention. She left for survival.

If a woman leaves you for the sake of her mental well-being, not because of another man, I hate to tell you this, but you failed in your role as a man. That's simply the truth.

I didn’t become a Mom just for the first 18 years.

My kids can be 8, 28, or 48, and if they need their Mom, I’m showing up.

I’ll always be the person they can call when life feels too heavy, when they need advice, when they need a safe place to land, or when they simply need to hear, “I’m here.”

They may grow up. They may build lives of their own. They may move across the country and have families of their own someday.

But none of that changes my place in their lives.

Being their Mom isn’t a temporary job with an expiration date.

I’ll love them, worry about them, pray for them, and show up for them for as long as I’m blessed to be here.
