He's Only Interested When It's Convenient - Time to Walk Away?

Making the decision to cut ties with someone you care about can be an extremely difficult and painful process, especially if you have become emotionally invested in the relationship and feel a strong connection to this person. But what if this relationship isn't offering you the love, care and attention that you deserve? What if this person is only showing up when it's convenient for them, and then dropping off the radar when other things in their life take priority? If you find yourself in a situation where you're left constantly waiting for this person to make time for you, it might be time to take a step back and assess whether this relationship is truly worth your time and energy. Relationships should be a two-way street, where both partners are invested and committed to making it work. If that's not the case for you, it might be time to face the facts and cut your losses. Accepting that this relationship might not be for you takes a lot of courage and heart. The initial stages of grief can be intense - you may feel angry, sad and even guilty for walking away. However, it's essential to remember that you deserve so much more than being someone's convenient companion. You deserve someone who will prioritize you, make time for you, and shower you with love and affection. If the person you're seeing is only available to you on an intermittent basis, then it's probably not a relationship that is going to bring you long-term happiness and fulfillment. The way to gauge if this person is interested in a meaningful relationship is to pay attention to their actions and words. Are they making consistent effort to spend time with you and engage in plans that you make together? Are they actively communicating with you on a regular basis? Or are they missing in action for extended periods of time without making any effort to stay in touch? If the answer is the latter, it's time to take a hard look at whether this relationship is worth continuing to pursue. It's easy to get sucked into the excitement of knowing that someone you're into is interested in you - it can activate all sorts of feel-good chemicals in our brains and make us want to hold onto the feelings we're experiencing for as long as possible. However, it's crucial to separate the fantasy from reality and see things for what they truly are. When we have a tendency to romanticize relationships that aren't serving us, we can lose sight of our actual needs and desires. We might settle for someone who isn't truly committed to us because we're afraid of ending up alone. We might let our fear of being single cloud our judgment and lead us to invest our time and emotions in people who aren't invested in us. This can lead to feeling unfulfilled, unheard, and unloved. But here's the thing - being single is better than being in a relationship that doesn't serve you. Prioritizing your own needs and sense of self-worth can be one of the most empowering things you do. Instead of settling for someone who only wants to be around when it's convenient for them, take a leap of faith and believe that the right person is out there - someone who will love you consistently, prioritise your needs, and be there for you through thick and thin. And who knows, you might just find that you're capable of greater joy, happiness, and fulfillment than you ever thought possible. So the next time you find yourself in a situation where you're waiting around for someone who doesn't seem to be making any effort to spend time with you, remember that you have a choice. You can choose to keep holding on to something that might never be what you truly desire, or you can choose to let go. By letting go of what isn't serving you, you're opening yourself up to the infinite possibilities of the world - you never know what amazing experiences, people, and love might be waiting for you just around the corner.
