A vida é demasiado curta para nos apaixonarmos por pessoas que não nos tratam bem

Haven’t you had enough? Haven’t you had enough of all those people who treat you the way they do?

Como se estivesses sempre lá para eles, por mais merdosos que se comportem? Bem, deixa-me dizer-te que a vida é demasiado curta para essas pessoas.

Especialmente se um deles for o homem com quem escolhe passar os seus dias.

Life is too short to fall for someone who doesn’t treat you the way you deserve. I know that this sounds like a cliché but isn’t it true?

You’re devoting your days to this person who’s only there to take advantage of you. He acts like he won’t ever lose you, like you’ll forever stay by his side.

Mostre-lhe que ele tem de pensar duas vezes sobre isso.

Tratar bem uma pessoa significa respeitar os seus limites. Sabendo que tu e eu somos diferentes no que toca a os nossos limites, you should also be aware of the fact that people don’t usually take them into consideration.

What about all those times he made you have sex with him even though you weren’t feeling too great? What about all those times he made you feel bad about saying ‘no’ to anything?

Foram todas as vezes que ele ultrapassou os seus limites, acreditando que conseguiria sempre o que queria.

Tratar bem uma pessoa significa amá-la incondicionalmente. Acredita que alguém que o ama e que continuará a amá-lo sob quaisquer condições o tratará mal?

Claro que não. Amar incondicionalmente significa que os amamos sem nunca os fazer sentir mal por serem quem são e sem nunca os julgar pelas suas decisões.

Mas tudo o que ele faz é apontar sempre os teus defeitos e faz-te acreditar que ele até pode ter razão.

Tratar bem uma pessoa significa nunca a fazer chorar. Like life isn’t hard as it is, he makes it even harder for you.

He hurts you with his words and actions, never trying to understand you or apologizing. He thinks that it’s your fault because you’re ‘too emotional’ and that’s what makes you cry even more.

He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t even try to. All he does is break you, each day a bit more.

A vida é demasiado curta para pessoas como ele. Only you know how torn your heart is inside and how much it hurts. Is it really fine to spend your days with him, knowing what he’s doing to you?

Even though you love him so much and even though you two have been through so many things together, he isn’t worth your while.

A vida é demasiado curta para esperar que ele mude. He won’t change. Sorry to disappoint you, because that might be the only hope that kept you by his side but believe me, people like him do not change.

Even if one day he is going to be aware of his wrongdoings, that is somewhere far in the future. So while you’re here sobbing and breaking apart he doesn’t even mind flirting with someone else.

Então, porquê esperar? Siga em frente e poupe o resto da sua vida.

Afasta-te porque a tua vida inteira está à tua espera. It’s waiting for you to realize that it’s OK to discard and move on from someone who doesn’t love you enough.

It’s fine to want to be selfish once in a while and save yourself, because that’s sometimes the only way you can be happy. It’s fine to love yourself enough and just start over.

So the next time you find yourself in a situation where you feel like you’re not being appreciated, loved or cared for—you are allowed to leave.

Just remember that in a few years you will happy that you didn’t waste your valuable time on someone whose intentions aren’t good and someone who isn’t even aware that they are doing something wrong.

Life is too short to fall for someone who won’t treat you right. Há tantos homens fantásticos por aí que estão desejosos de ter uma mulher linda e carinhosa como tu e eu prometo-te que vais conseguir apaixonar-te novamente.

So don’t stand around and waste your life. You don’t have forever.
