let that man go. he is not going to change. you already saw who he is. stop holding on to the version of him you created in your mind and start accepting the reality he keeps showing you. love is not supposed to be built on potential alone. if he wanted to do better, he would have started by now. you have spent enough time making excuses for his actions, hoping things would be different. but hope cannot fix someone who doesn't want to change. choose yourself this time. because sometimes the greatest act of self-love is walking away from what you know is not meant for you.
