Silly me didn\u2019t only settle for breadcrumbs of his love. Instead, I was even happy that I\u2019d managed to make such an unattainable man mine \u2013 although he never truly was.<\/p>\n
Estaba tan agradecida por cada pizca de amor que me daba. Cada sonrisa, cada beso, cada mensaje era tan especial para m\u00ed porque ven\u00eda de alguien que, obviamente, era incapaz de amar.<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t lie to you. I felt miserable most of the time. I wanted out but I just couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Adem\u00e1s, me daba lo justo para mantenerme a su lado. Lo justo para despertar la esperanza en mi interior y evitar que me marchara.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be honest here. This entire scenario turned me into a naggy kind of a woman. Instead of changing my situation, all I did was complain about not being able to change him.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed que, el otro d\u00eda, empez\u00f3 nuestra pelea habitual. Le dije lo mucho que me molestaba la poca atenci\u00f3n que me prestaba.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I told him frankly that I felt unloved and unwanted. I said that I felt like he couldn\u2019t care less whether I stayed or left.<\/p>\n
Me quejaba de c\u00f3mo nunca hac\u00eda nada concreto para mantenerme a su lado. De c\u00f3mo nunca mov\u00eda un dedo por el bien de nuestra relaci\u00f3n, mientras yo mov\u00eda monta\u00f1as por los dos.<\/p>\n
\u00bfY sabes c\u00f3mo respondi\u00f3? Me lo dijo, \u201cWhat more do you want from me? I\u2019m doing everything I can.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n At that moment, it hit me: This was really this guy\u2019s maximum. He\u2019ll never try harder and this is all I\u2019ll ever get from him.<\/p>\n Realmente estaba convencido de que as\u00ed es como debe funcionar una relaci\u00f3n. Realmente pensaba que era el novio perfecto.<\/strong><\/p>\n After all, he wasn\u2019t cheating on me (as far as I knew) and he wasn\u2019t physically abusing me. According to him, that should do it.<\/p>\n Me pregunt\u00e9 si esto era suficiente para m\u00ed. \u00bfEstaba dispuesta a conformarme con estas migajas para el resto de mi vida?<\/strong><\/p>\n It didn\u2019t take me long before I came up with an answer: NO, and it never will be.<\/strong><\/p>\n So, what exactly was I doing next to this man? He won\u2019t change, my criteria won\u2019t change. Consequently, the only logical solution is that we\u2019d have to part ways before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n Esa frase me aclar\u00f3 la visi\u00f3n. Me oblig\u00f3 a quitarme las gafas de color de rosa y, por primera vez, a ver las cosas como realmente eran.<\/p>\n Somewhere, I read that there are 20 steps between two people. Well, for all of these years I was making 19 and he wasn\u2019t ready to make just one towards me.<\/p>\n You\u2019re probably thinking to yourself that he didn\u2019t say anything awful. This wasn\u2019t a big deal and I was just making unnecessary drama.<\/p>\n But trust me, this sentence really was huge. And I\u2019m thankful to my ex for saying it out loud.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bfSabes por qu\u00e9? Porque me salv\u00f3 de mi propia miseria.<\/strong><\/p>\n Me salv\u00f3 de todas mis esperanzas (que claramente fueron en vano todo el tiempo), de mis propios enga\u00f1os, de esta relaci\u00f3n que estaba condenada al fracaso desde el primer d\u00eda.<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ll be frank. This doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019ve gotten over this man overnight. After all, I\u2019ve loved him for so long and he can\u2019t be erased from my heart and mind in a split second.<\/p>\n Yes, it will take me a while to heal.
