4. A man who only does ‘manly’ things

“I want you to be capable of taking care of our home, too. I don’t want you to do everything, I want you to do your share. I’ve seen so many relationships end because daily living activities were solely left up to the women whilst she already has a job too. You may think you can get away with it forever, but it will damage your relationship. No one wants to clean (not a lot of people) but clean is necessary for many reason. I honestly don’t think this is news but I do think its underestimated how important it is in your relationship. If you can make a game plan to split up chores and follow through- your woman will be so happy those stupid arguments will magically disappear.” — banisoup

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
