ENTITY gives relationship advice for women

Often times, being in love with someone shuts off something in our brains. It’s the something that we need in order to put ourselves first. Everything becomes about that person— every decision for their good. We often take it so far as to neglect ourselves and not even realize it. People everywhere have their two cents about how to keep a relationship alive. But relationship advice for women often doesn’t prioritize self-love.

The best relationship advice for women is to fully recognize that you are your own longest commitment and that there will always be potential for disappointment. Do not go with blind faith into a relationship thinking they will be there forever. This route will often lead to disappointment.

As someone who spent the last two years firmly planted in that blind faith only to get burned, I may have become a bit of a cynic. But I recognize where my mistake was: I neglected myself.

Love does this funny thing— It fools us into thinking things are okay when they’re not. If your boyfriend withholds communication from you, ignores your texts for several days at a time, and won’t even explain why, that’s unacceptable, you deserve better, and it shouldn’t be tolerated.

I learned that the hard way. And I hate to see women going down that same road.

I wasn’t happy. I knew that. But I was in love. And when you’re in love, you don’t believe that you could be unhappy.

So here’s the real relationship advice that we as women need to hear when entering a relationship:

Treating Yourself Right

On the brighter side of this, a healthy amount of cynicism leads to greater confidence and a happier woman. If we go into a relationship with a healthy mindset and enough self-assurance, we will inevitably be treated be better.

This is what I wish someone had told me before I dove deeper into this pit of ever-expanding disappointment. I set myself up for heartbreak because I let a man take advantage of the love I had for him. I tolerated behavior that I shouldn’t have, and I let him hurt me over and over again. Do not let yourself fall into this trap.

Simply put, don’t take any shit.

Wars have started over women, books are written about the pursuits of women, sculptures are made glorifying the beauty of the female form. As cheesy as it sounds, you deserve to be treated like a queen. If you aren’t being treated that way, you won’t recognize yourself as one either.

And if you don’t recognize your own worth, you won’t be happy.

So if you aren’t in a relationship yet and want to be, treat yourself the way you would want a man to treat you. You’ll attract the attention you deserve to make yourself truly happy.

If you are in a relationship and resonate with any of these feelings of self-doubt or distortions in your worth as a woman, you should reevaluate boundaries with your partner, start expecting more, or leave.
