When someone is using you as a placeholder, their needs will always come before your feelings. They apologize, promise change, then repeat the same behavior. Not because they forgot, but because they do not care enough to adjust. If someone truly values you, they change because they do not want to hurt you. Placeholders are not loved. They are used as emotional insulation. You are there to distract them from parts of themselves they refuse to face. Repeated apologies without change are not remorse. They are proof of indifference. Know the difference. Walk away. #SelfRespect #Boundaries #EmotionalAwareness #StopSettling #UnfilteredWisdom
