I understand why people drop the rope or match the energy of partners that aren’t doing enough. But keep in mind that there are partners out there (even men!) who can match what your energy is.
My husband and I were out shopping and he noticed a fun button up he bought had a matching dress. “You should get it! We could wear it together for date nights!” I never even considered bringing it up, because all previous partners I had would hardly even do couples Halloween costumes, much less match for date night. I almost cried. He even pointed out my dress to our waitress when she complimented his shirt at dinner.
It’s a small thing, but realizing over and over that this man truly matches my energy for the amount of love, support, and partnership I’ve always given in previous relationships (and received less in return) is so refreshing.
I see so many in this sub settling for less, and I really want to put out there that men are just people too, and they can match your energy, rather than having you dim your light to fit them.
If a partner can’t match your energy, they’re either not trying, or not a right fit. Be your own partner and give the love you have to yourself.

I, too, was once burnt by partners who couldn’t light their own damn fires. But then came one who brought his own matches.
