Only insecure people put up with treatment that is unacceptable, in large part because they feel on some level that that’s what they deserve.

They aren’t afraid to walk away, and the thought that they won’t be able to find something better or that they will wind up alone doesn’t cross their minds.
Confident people do not stay in relationships where they don’t feel respected, appreciated, and valued.
Confident women know what they will and will not accept and don’t allow themselves to be pressured or guilted into doing things they don’t want to do.
But when a girl is insecure and a guy leaves, she spirals. She may obsess, analyze, and replay every interaction in an attempt to uncover what she did wrong.
Confident Women Realize That When a Relationship Falls Apart It’s Because It Wasn’t Right, Not Because They Did Something Wrong
Confident Women Don’t Analyze Whether or Not a Guy Likes Them— They Assume He Does.
When love is real and genuine, it will flow easily and effortlessly.
Stop freaking out! Relationships aren’t that hard, they only feel hard because we stress over them for no reason and create problems when there aren’t any. Everything will be OK, just relax and trust the timing of your life.
Bad relationships are the ones filled with drama. The highs are higher and the lows are lower. When I say ‘bad relationship,’ I mean everything from a toxic, codependent situation to a relationship with a man who won’t commit in a significant way, to a match that is simply incompatible.
Men are not responsive to nagging or criticism, but they can be enormously receptive— and appreciative— when you tell them what makes you happy in a loving way.
Sometimes you’ll feel unloved, insecure, angry. Sometimes you’ll want to just run, and sometimes you’ll feel really lonely, and that will surprise you, because how can you be lonely in the company of someone who truly loves you?
Here’s the thing that no one really tells you: good relationships don’t always feel all that good… but it’s not for the same reason bad relationships feel bad.
Instead of focusing on what your partner should be doing, try to look at what he is doing right in the relationship and show appreciation for those things. The more your man feels appreciated, the more he’ll want to do to make you happy.
Happiness isn’t something you get from a relationship (although a relationship can certainly add to your level of happiness), it’s something that spills into your relationship.
Men cannot resist a woman with a smile.
There are many ways to keep the lust alive in your relationship, you’ll probably discover them all by just thinking about how things were in the beginning of your relationship, back when you were overcome by a magnetic force of physical attraction.
...what we call ‘love at first sight’ is really intense lust and desire coupled with the recognition that there is the potential to create something meaningful with this other person.
You can be totally perfect for one another, you can love each other like crazy, you can be wildly attracted to one another, you can even be soul mates, and you will still have to work at it.
In a romantic relationship, love will give you stability, partnership, and acceptance, but lust will give you passion, fire, and sexual satisfaction.
