So stop making excuses for their behaviors.

Because they know exactly how you feel, what you want and how their actions, decisions and behaviors impact you but, they still choose to engage in these behaviors.

Now why do they do this?

More often than not it’s because they don’t really care about you, because they’re being immature, manipulative and narcissistic.

They play dumb, pretend as if they don’t fully understand the harm they’re causing because they try to avoid accountability and responsibility for their behaviors.

They want you to just shut up, to put up with their cheating, lack of commitment, dishonesty and manipulating so they can continue using you for their own selfish ego-gratification.

And as long as you continue giving them the benefit of the doubt, they will keep getting away with that.

Therefore, stop enabling them. Stop trying to save or fix them.

Because they don’t want to be saved and you can’t really prevent them from pushing the self-destruct button.

Especially not if they have no intention of changing or don’t see anything wrong with their dysfunctional behaviors.

The best thing to do here is to understand that they are responsible for their choices, not you.

To refuse playing their free therapist and instead leave them be.

To walk away, towards something better so that you protect your inner peace.
