I Knew He Wasn't Listening When I Opened Up

Ever sat across from someone you care about and realized they’re just not hearing you? That happened to me with my boyfriend, and it hit harder than I expected. Here’s what I did to figure out if I was being respected: • I checked in with myself—did I feel seen, or like I was fading into the background? • I paid attention to my mood—was I more anxious or tired after hanging out with him? • I looked at how we compromised—was it always his way, or did he meet me halfway? • I started speaking up, calmly letting him know when something didn’t feel right. We all deserve to feel valued in our relationships. Ever had to speak up when someone wasn’t treating you right? How did you handle it? #HealthyRelationships #KnowYourWorth #RespectMatters #Health #MentalHealth
