HE’S NOT YOURS! HIM ENTERTAINING OTHER WOMEN SAYS SO!

Neya!

I read your post about clarifying your relationship. What really stuck out to me, is when you said that it’s not you and him against the world if he hasn’t told you that. Well, what if he tells you that? What if he says that it’s just you and him, and that it’s “us” against the world, but he won’t clearly define the relationship, and he still talks to other girls.

Girl Help!

Hey, Girl Help!

I don’t know if this is your situation, so do not get offended when I say “you”He’ within my answer.

So it sounds like you’re dealing with a typical manipulative casanova. You know, the guy who wants several pieces of cake, and plans to eat every piece. He tells you everything you want to hear, because it sounds good, but his actions don’t line up. I know it’s easy to believe a man, when he says all of the right things, but remember his actions will always be loud and clear.

Clearly he is a liar.

Despite what he says, it is not you and him against the world because you know there are other girls in the picture. You do not have to allow him to treat you like you’re one of his options. Do not put yourself through the hurt he is setting you up for.

Think about it, if you move into an exclusive relationship with this man those other girls aren’t going anywhere. They’re there now, and he’s trying to make you believe that you’re his one and only, so what makes you think they’re leaving anytime soon? In essence, he’s telling you what you want to hear, but showing you what you don’t need in a relationship. Truth is, he could be saying the same thing to those other girls.

You are not alone, I’ve been there. I was talking to a guy and he talked about us getting married, for years! In my mind he treated me good. We had good open communication, he bought me the things I liked, and whatever I needed emotionally, he provided. I later realized that he had set me up for hurt. He was doing the same for another young lady.

That’s when it all clicked. He talked to me about marriage, but we weren’t even in a relationship. That doesn’t add up…at all. I was wrapped up in his words, and his actions lined up good enough for me. I dismissed the red flags that were waving in my face, because, he pacified me. He told me what he thought I wanted to hear, but I had to pick myself up and find my happy, and you have to do the same.

In your situation, realize that you are being pacified with his words. He is not committing to you. He’s committing to himself, doing what makes him happy, and right now that’s you and the other girls he’s talking to. Know that it is okay, don’t be upset, don’t go crazy, it’s a learning experience.

Realize now that you’re worth more than pretty words. Commit to yourself, and do what makes you happy. I’m sure treating him like a priority, while you’re his option isn’t what makes you happy. You are worthy enough to be someone’s priority.

SAY NO TO BLURRED LINES! CLARIFY YOUR RELATIONSHIP

I hear women complaining about where they stand with “their” man too often. I never knew this was such a big issue until I saw women complaining about not knowing where they stood with “their” man through social media. They even go so far as to threaten to leave a man they don’t know is there’s or not.

I’ve seen it. You’ve seen it, and some of us have been there.

The statuses are usually four paragraphs long, and she is going in, letting everyone know there is trouble in paradise. She says little stuff like this:

Imma do me since he don’t know what he wants.

All I want is a man that’s upfront with me, let me know what we doing!

Soooo…he think it’s okay to talk to other girls? I’m done!

The funny part is they know they aren’t leaving their situation, it’s just all in the name of wanting some attention. The solution is so simple, communication.

In my mind, I’m thinking, the relationship won’t work anyway, because she doesn’t know how to communicate with him, and in some situations, he doesn’t know how to communicate either. Plus, if anything goes wrong, she’s going to put everything out there on social media. Who wants to deal with that?

You should never get to the point where you are tired of being unsure of where you stand in your relationship. So tired that you take to social media to be your friend you vent to. Call your girlfriends, write in a journal, do something that gives you that freedom to scream, cuss and cry, and not have the World know about it.

If you’re at this point, it’s time to stand up for yourself.

You love you, right?

Be clear. Ask questions.

You should know if you are his girlfriend, sex buddy, familiar, just friends, or dating. Whichever you are you should be okay with that. Do not ever make assumptions on where you stand with a man. That leads to disappointment. It is not you and him against the world, if he has not told you that. The saddest part is that most of us don’t know what we want from a man. What are you expecting him to do for you, when you don’t know what you’re expecting him to do for you?

You have to be honest with yourself before you can get clarity from him. Know your wants and your needs. Ask yourself, can this man provide me with my expectations? If he fits the role of provider, that’s when it’s time you ask him about your relationship and where it’s headed. However, if you know in your heart he is not what you need, let it go. Don’t look back. Go be great, with someone else.

You can not trust a man to make the first move on everything. Sometimes you have to step up and take action. Just don’t have an attitude. Asking a man where you stand can be a touchy conversation. Allow yourself time to get mentally prepared for his response. Anything can come out of his mouth. He may ask you, where does he stand with you. You have to be ready to answer that question. So be ready.

What you don’t want is an open-ended, still up in the air, you ain’t got no closure about the situation, answer. If he can’t answer your question, chances are you’re the side-chick, or you’re just not that important to him. Either way, you need to pack your things, and move on. If he has any respect for you, he should be able to provide you with a clear answer. Do not stay in a situation that does not completely satisfy you. You do not want to miss out on the possibility of meeting your Mr. Right.

If you do get the, open-ended, still up in the air, you ain’t got no closure about the situation, answer, it is perfectly fine to let him know what you all are doing. Let him know that you’re just dating, or are sex buddies or you don’t want anything more from him than friendship, or that you all are exclusive. But, then ask yourself, “Is this the type of relationship I want to be in?” Do you want to take the lead in the relationship, or do you want a man who knows what he wants, and can communicate that to you?

Blurred lines are not pretty. Everyone deserves clarity, and if you are struggling to get it: That’s your clarity!

Do not be blind to his actions. A man may not always tell you how he feels about you, but he will always show you. Pay attention. Know your worth, and know when it’s time to move on. You can do it girl!

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT AND LOVING IT!

To be perfectly imperfect, is to realize that you are not perfect and still love yourself.

In today’s society it seems as though everyone wants to be perfect, but that simply does not exist. Although you may not be perfect, you are so special, but you have to know that for yourself. It’s time you start loving your imperfect self.

Let those around you know that they are beautiful, special, and don’t be afraid to say that you love them as well. Uplift and inspire those people around you, you never know who you may be a blessing to.

Here are some ways to appreciate your perfectly imperfect self.

6. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

You’ve come through some tough situations. Looking from the outside in, some may not have even known you went through some of the things you overcame. Be happy that you are moving forward, and stay positive.

5. NOTICE YOUR SUCCESS

It’s easy to just move through this life in our normal routine. But stop. Realize how far you’ve come in whatever project you’re working on. It’s okay to appreciate you for your accomplishments. If you’ve tackled a big project its perfectly fine to eat a cupcake with a glass of wine. Don’t wait for anyone to celebrate with you, celebrate yourself with yourself.

4. FIND BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING

There is beauty in the worst of days, but it’s up to you to find the beauty.  There is beauty in the things you may not like about yourself. You may feel as though you are one flawed individual, but you have to love on you and realize how beautiful you are, both inside and out.

3. FOCUS ON TODAY

Tomorrow is gone, and tomorrow hasn’t come, so focus on today. Stop over-thinking things that aren’t in your control. Enjoy today, and stop stressing what hasn’t had yet to come. So focus on the great things that are happening around you. 

2. FORGET TO WORRY

Worrying will make you sick. When you find yourself in a situation where you instantly begin to worry, find positivity around you. Find something to smile about, and then laugh. To worry is to waste time. Disappointments happen. Everything won’t go the way you plan and people will not do the things you want them to or react the way you would like them to.

1. DON’T LOOSE YOUR BARK

Don’t ever loose yourself in a job that isn’t your dream, or in helping someone else’s dream at all. I’ve done it, and it isn’t worth it. Know your worth. Know your voice and don’t let anyone try to dim your light. Know that you are special, and that you have something to offer this world. 

I hope you can realize through your imperfection you are perfection. God makes no mistakes.

How do you deal with loving yourself through your flaws and imperfections?
