How Aggression & Selective Hearing Breaks The Hearts Of Men
“There are many mental and emotional steps a man took on his own before he could isolate any woman as his problem.”

I am here to say that for the most part, emotional wounds surrounding relationships and heartbreak are self-inflicted, and can be pointed to stubbornness. The cruelty of being in love is that you are caught up in a dynamic vortex of intense emotions which keep you from seeing how you are breaking your own heart.
