Your expectation is not his responsibility.

It’s all in your mind. — Thoughts of yours, like “This is basic; this is called manners. Even a teenager knows how to behave better than you. It’s simple—why don’t you understand it? He knows exactly what he’s doing, but he did it anyway. He is playing me. I did so much for him, but he couldn’t even lift a hand for me.

I trusted him. I told him what hurts me, and still he did it anyway. He read my text but still didn’t reply — yet he has time to post. That means he doesn’t give importance to me. But I always reply on time. I can understand his situation — why couldn’t he understand mine? I told him that I’m crying because of his behaviour, but he still didn’t care and replied late. And more, more, and more.

If he loved me, he could have put in a little effort… But why didn’t he?"

It’s you (yourself), and it’s him (he) — both of you grew up in different situations and circumstances. What feels right for you could be wrong or hard to understand for him. What feels logical to you doesn’t have to be logical for him. Think outside the box; it's not only about you or what you believe to be correct. Yes, it’s logic… so? Does it have to sound like logic to him? If yes, then go and find your person.” Leave him.

Your expectation is not his responsibility

Because of your expectation, you are getting hurt. Stop allowing your expectation to hurt you. Control your thoughts.

If you want to give love, then give it without expectations. And if he feels it too, he’ll show it in his own way. If you’re thinking, ‘I gave him this much love; is replying within 24 hours too much to ask?’ — YES. It is, because he doesn’t live for your expectations.

You should not expect anything from him, because love is not a business where you give love and expect a return/profit.

You do you. He will do as he pleases.

Stop expecting and protect your heart. If he’s not the one, then leave him — but leave with clarity.

Control your thoughts, not him.

Whatever he did, it’s on him. Don’t give a damn about what he did. Focus on what you will do — and what you can do to heal the part of you that got hurt. You do good things. You be kind, even if he throws stones at you; IT’S ON HIM.

You protect yourself and be kind to yourself. Hate is unnecessary. Move on like the wind. The kinder you are, the more peace you will find.

No regrets—that’s the secret of escaping from whatever situation you are in. A guilty conscience is extremely dangerous; do not let yourself fall into the trap.

Remember that.
