If you have to keep telling a man the same thing about your feelings over and over, and nothing ever changes, understand that he doesn’t respect you. It’s not because he doesn’t hear you—it’s because he doesn’t want to hear you.

Try stopping the explanations and accept that this is simply how things will stay. How does that feel?
