Have you ever been dazzled by someone's promises, only to be let down by their actions? I have, and it's a harsh lesson in love and life. "How he treats you is how he feels about you, regardless of what words come out of his mouth." This is a truth I learned the hard way.
🔹 Promises vs. Reality: My ex-husband was a master of grand gestures and sweet words. He promised the moon, but when it came to being there when it truly mattered, he was often absent. For instance, he left me alone at the hospital right after I gave birth to our son to accept an award at work and then went to play golf. His actions spoke louder than any loving words he ever said.
🔹 Daily Disappointments: It wasn't just the big moments; daily life was full of discrepancies. He would volunteer to help friends with their projects, looking like the hero, while our home was left in disarray, projects unfinished. The message was clear: others were a priority over his own family.
Words can be manipulative. They can charm, enchant, and keep you trapped in a cycle of hope and disappointment. But actions? They tell the true story. They show intentions and feelings. If someone loves you, their actions will show it. They will be there for you, prioritize you, and finish what they started with you.

Remember, you deserve someone who says they care and shows it in every way.
