Pay attention to how he treats strangers. If he’s kinder, more patient, and more respectful to everyone else than he is to you… that’s not comfort — that’s where he feels safe taking you for granted. A man who values you doesn’t save his best behavior for the outside world and give you what’s left. #relationshiptruth #knowyourworth #selfrespect #toxicrelationships #emotionalneglect

The moment you realize he treats strangers better than you, he'll say please and thank you to everyone else. Hold doors, smile, be polite, be patient, make jokes, but with you, short, irritated, dismissive, like your presence is an obligation, like your feelings are an inconvenience, like basic kindness is something that you have to earn. And you start asking yourself, how does a man have patience for people he barely knows rather than for the woman who stands beside him every day. That's when it starts to hit you. It's not that he doesn't know how to be kind, it's not that he's stressed, it's not that he's overwhelmed, it's that he knows you'll stay even if he gives you the bare minimum. So he saves his best self for the outside world and gives you whatever leftovers there are. And one day, you wake up and realize you've been loyal to someone who stopped being gentle with you a long time ago. A man who values you doesn't give the world his best and leave you with what's left. Save this video, follow for more. I love you Betty.
