When they can't even bother to listen to how their actions are hurting you, nothing changes. If they refuse to hear you, how can you expect them to stop hurting you again and again? There's a reason they shut their ears every time you try to speak your truth. They don't care enough to listen, and that is the part that stings the most. They hate hearing about their actions because they already know exactly what they're doing. Yet they pretend it's all some innocent mistake you're trying too hard to "fix." But it's not a mistake when someone repeats the same things that break you. It's intentional when they choose themselves over your pain every single time. And if they're doing it willingly, why would they ever want to change it?
