La verdad es que no puedes hacer que un hombre te ame a menos que él mismo lo haga

Desde que tienes uso de razón, piensas que el amor es algo muy sencillo: recibes lo que das.

Así que, básicamente, si alguien te quiere de verdad, te devolverá todo su amor.

The same goes for boyfriends, family, friends and everyone else—if you give someone the care and the attention they need, everything will work out just fine.

You just have to give your best—you have to show them that you are ready to do whatever it takes to make them happy and that they can count on you, no matter what.

This especially goes for guys—if you treat your partner the way you’d like to be treated, he will love you back for sure.

Hay que ser honesto, leal, fiel y estar dispuesto a comprometerse, y todo encajará tarde o temprano.

Verá todo lo que haces por él, apreciará todos tus sacrificios y comprenderá que eres la única digna de su amor.

Desde que tienes uso de razón, estás convencido de que tienes que lucha por el amor verdadero—that you have to be ready to do whatever it takes to keep it alive.

Te han dicho que tienes que superar muchos obstáculos y ganar numerosos retos para conseguir tu final feliz.

But no matter what, your happy ending will eventually come, if you just try hard enough, won’t it?

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but the truth is that things don’t always work like that.

The truth is that sometimes, no matter how much of yourself you give to a man, he simply can’t or doesn’t know how to love you back.

At least, he can’t do it the way he should and the way you need him to.

La verdad es que, a veces, se pueden mover montañas por una relación que, sencillamente, está condenada al fracaso.

Por una relación que no está destinada a ser y que nunca tendrá éxito, por mucho que lo desees.

No estoy diciendo que debas marcharte en cuanto las cosas se pongan feas o que debas abandonar a alguien que te importa mucho al primer inconveniente.

Sin embargo, a veces tienes que aceptar que tus luchas son en vano y que estás luchando contra molinos de viento.  

No estoy diciendo que debas ser una zorra total sólo para que un chico que te interesa vaya a por ti.

No estoy diciendo que debas hacerte la dura o que mostrar tus verdaderas emociones esté mal.

However, you have to be aware of one thing—no matter how much love you give away, it will never be enough for the wrong man.

Por mucho que lo intentes o te esfuerces, nunca podrás enseñar a un hombre tóxico a amar de verdad.

You can never make him become someone he’s not and you can’t force him to give you his entire heart.

Most importantly, what you need to realize is the fact that some asshole can’t love you isn’t your fault.

You shouldn’t waste your energy on trying to figure out why this man doesn’t love you, after everything you’ve done to deserve his love.

Why can’t you be enough for him to start treating you differently and for him to open up a place in his heart for you?

Así que en lugar de culparte a ti mismo, recuerda lo que vales.

Remember that you don’t need this man’s love to make you happy and remember that it’s his loss—not yours.

Yes, all of this is easier said than done. I know that it is difficult and painful to accept the fact that someone whom you care for so deeply doesn’t give a damn about you.

Sin embargo, a veces hay que mirar la verdad a los ojos y aceptarla, por dura que sea.

Sometimes, you have to give up hope and realize that you’ve done more than enough.

Realize that you’ve done everything in your power and walk away, while you still have some dignity and pride.

Sí, dolerá mucho. Pero a ti sanará. And once you do, you’ll wish you’d done all of this sooner.

Once you heal, you’ll understand that this was the only way for you to open your heart to the man who WILL LOVE YOU in all the ways you deserve to be loved.

For the man you’ll never have to chase or beg.

Para el hombre que nunca te hará cuestionar sus intenciones, ni dudar de sus sentimientos.

Para el hombre que está destinado a ser tuyo y que nunca te romperá el corazón.
