Transcript
Just tell me what you need is the worst thing you can say to your partner. My girlfriend is the most independent person I know. She works long shifts at tier family's restaurant and handles everything on her own. She never complains and rarely rank for help. And for a long time, I thought she just didn't need me. She grew up having to figure things out alone. And over time, asking for help made her feel like a burden. At first, I selfishly thought I'm not a mind reader. If she needs something, she should just rank. That's not how it works. Some people have been let down so many tier, they stopped asking. And waiting for them to open up and just ask isn't patience. It's neglect. So I stopped waiting and started paying attention. And slowly, she started to open up. Last Valentine's Day, she asked for a pair of Snoopy earrings. They weren't that expensive, but after she asked me, she said something that just broke me. She's never asked a guy to buy her anything in her life until no. And hearing that made me wanna give her everything. Not because she asked, but because she finally could. You can't wait for someone to bad ask if they've never felt safe enough to ask. You have to show up worst, not with words, but with action. My girlfriend spent her whole life being strong alone. I'm Good Dashing for a ring no she never has to best, Because she deserves a love she doesn't have to ask for. She deserves a love that she can just trust to show up forever. Sixty two days in. $3,362.88 out of 6,500. Follow to see how long it takes.
