Being Present

When a person is in a relationship, especially in a marriage, HE/SHE HAS GOT TO BE PRESENT.

Paying attention to others, or pursuing other romances, or entertaining a whim.. these are all unnecessary and inconsequential. Once a decision is made to be with someone, you BE with that person: heart, body and soul. Is that too much to ask? Apparently yes, to many men (and women).

I will take my confusion and expectations, and keep them to myself.

I know what I want, and no one can tell me otherwise.

It is a minimum expectation, especially for marriage.

If I do not get it, then I am MORE THAN HAPPY to be by myself.

Having a supporter/ confidant/ significant other spurs one on, I completely agree.

However a good-for-nothing partner should be cut off, because it's just not a good look.

If at all, it (yes, this is intentional & not a grammar mistake) hampers your progress.

Carry on my dear, and smash all the glass ceilings that you want.
