We’ve all done crazy/silly/stupid things for love, and we’ve all tolerated behavior that we never should have. I’ve gotten to a point where I simply won’t do it anymore. I don’t care how much I like you — I won’t deal with your crap. Period.
- I’m no doormat. You think because I like you, I’m just gonna bend over backwards to do whatever you want? No way. I’m a human being and I happen to be your equal. You don’t get to just go around doing whatever you want and treating me however you want. I respect myself too much to let you walk all over me.
- I deserve respect. I expect it from my family, my friends, and my colleagues. I expect it from my partner as well. If I care about you, that doesn’t mean that I’m giving up what I deserve. I don’t care how much I like you. You’d better treat me right, or I’m gone.
- You aren’t worth losing my self-esteem. Yeah, I’ve definitely liked guys before who did not treat me very well. I’ve made that mistake. I won’t do it again. I would much rather like the person I see in the mirror than be with you. If I can’t have both, guess which one is gone? That’s right, it’s you. If you don’t make me feel good about myself, there’s no point.
- I would never have liked you if I knew your true colors. I would never purposely start liking a jerk. Usually guys are on their best behavior in the beginning, and then later they show their true douchebag selves. If I figure out that you’re not the nice guy you were pretending to be, it’s over. I don’t have time for that crap. Save us all a lot of time and energy and be honest about who you are from the start.
- If you liked me, you’d treat me right. It’s the truth. I don’t want any excuses. Actions speak louder than words, and your actions show you to be a jerk. If you cared about me, you wouldn’t treat me like crap. It’s pretty simple. I’m not one of those girls who goes around making excuses for her man. It’s a load of crap and we all know it. I’m not wasting my time with any more jerks.
- I won’t be taken for granted. It’s a big world out there. I think I can find someone who thinks I’m special and acts accordingly. I don’t need to sit around with some guy who treats me like I’m ordinary. Screw that. Life is too short. I want to be with someone I think is amazing who thinks the same of me. I might have strong feelings for you, but not strong enough to put up with that crap.
- I won’t let you take advantage of my feelings for you. I have too much self-respect. You know I like you and you’re using it to your benefit. It’s not cool and it’s not fair. Be a good guy, not a tool. Don’t treat someone who has feelings for you like she doesn’t exist. I won’t stand for it, and I hope other girls won’t either. The whole reason you douchebags think you can get away with acting like that is because other women have let you do it in the past. I won’t be that woman.
