Relationship Quote by Nylle
“When one person in a relationship is tired of another, they will start to care less and less about things that could potentially make the relationship worse. For many women, and men as well, this is a mechanism that we internally flip when we have already received adequate damageàto our hearts. After a person is heart it is harder for them to trust the person who hurt them, especially if the person continues to hurt them over and over again.”
