You have this habit or cycle. You and I will go a few weeks spending little time together. Then you begin to notice that I’m becoming more moody and that we’ve been spending little time together. So you attempt to make up for it.
Let’s have breakfast.
Let’s have dinner.
Let’s do something this weekend.
Let’s watch a movie.
Let’s go to my condo.
So I spend a blissful one or two days/nights with you and everything’s well again. Then we got back to neglect. I think you make a mistake in thinking that a few hours can make up for weeks of neglect. I say that it’s you neglecting me because throughout the few weeks of “neglect,” I continuously text and talk to you and I’m constantly interested in what’s going on with you and in your life. I’m so invested in you. I just wanna see that same interest, the same kind of interest you used to show me when we were just starting out. Remember what you said? It should be 100% effort from beginning to end. I’m not seeing that.
A person can only give so much effort.
