Actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words.

He’s a liar. Selfish. Manipulative. Emotionally Abusive. Drives her to panic attacks. 

You’re honest. Generous. Compassionate. Endlessly encouraging. Desire nothing more than to make her happy.

For him, it was never. Then years. Then months. Then she wouldn’t even wait a month; letting him back in just before you flew to see her.

For you, it was May. Then July. Then September. Well…”thinking September” for now.

You know how much that hurts. It’s not enough to reject you. It’s a rejection of what you are and stand for, in favor of everything you aren’t and stand against.

Now he’s lied to her for nine straight days. Zero real consequences. In other words, she’s gotten used to it. And no matter what she says – at the end of the day, she’s fine with it.

She’s not even going to confide in you about him hurting her anymore.

Actions speak louder than words.

Her actions speak volumes – and it kills you to finally realize it.

So what now?

Be Confident, Atreyu.

Be Confident.

As long as you can.

She is still sacred to you. 

Her happiness is worth it.
