This one is for the ladies: Women often tell me that their partners are closed off. It shouldn't come as a surprise: society conditions men to be strong, all the time, and vulnerability is seen as weakness. If a man is vulnerable, do not weaponize it. He is not weak, he is giving you his trust. The way in which you choose to respond determines whether he will show closeness or become distant. It takes a tremendous amount of courage for a man to trust. Don't take it for granted.

"Sometimes people walk away
from love because it is so
beautiful that it terrifies them.

Sometimes they leave because
the connection shines a bright
light on their dark places and
they are not ready to work them
through.

Sometimes they run away because
they are not developmentally
prepared to merge with another,
they have more individuation work
to do first.

Sometimes they take off because
love is not a priority in their lives;
they have another path and
purpose to walk first.

Sometimes they end it because
they prefer a relationship that is
more practical than conscious,
one that does not threaten the
ways that they organize reality.

Because so many of us carry
shame, we have a tendency to
personalize love's leavings,
triggered by the rejection and
feelings of abandonment.

But this is not always true.
Sometimes it has nothing to do
with us.

Sometimes the one who leaves is
just not ready to hold it safe.

Sometimes they know something
we don't, they know their limits
at that moment in time.

Real love is no easy path,
readiness is everything.

May we grieve loss without
personalizing it.

May we learn to love ourselves
in the absence of the lover."

A weak man will never know what to do with a strong woman. She’s not difficult... she’s direct. She’s not rude... she’s honest. But to a man who’s insecure, inconsistent, or emotionally underdeveloped, her strength will feel like a threat instead of a blessing.

She’ll speak her mind... and he’ll flinch. She’ll ask for clarity... and he’ll say she’s "too much." She’ll set boundaries... and he’ll call her controlling. She’ll challenge him to grow... and he’ll say she’s trying to change him. But deep down, it’s not her words that bother him... it’s the fact that she sees right through him. He can’t manipulate her with charm. He can’t pacify her with empty promises. He can’t keep her quiet with crumbs of attention.

So what does he do? He blames her. Blames her attitude. Her independence. Her expectations. Anything to avoid admitting that he simply wasn’t ready for her. That he was intimidated by her self-respect. That he couldn’t handle being held accountable. Because a strong woman will not beg. She will not chase. And she will not water herself down to be more “digestible” for a man who’s still trying to figure out who he is.

She wasn’t too loud... he was just used to silence. She wasn’t too bold... he was just used to women who stayed quiet to keep the peace. She wasn’t too intense... he just wasn’t prepared for someone who didn’t need him, but chose him. And that’s the difference. A weak man craves control... a strong woman demands partnership. And if he’s not ready to meet her as an equal, she won’t shrink to make him comfortable.

He’ll tell people she had an attitude. That she was cold. That she was difficult to love. But the truth is... he was just too scared of what her strength revealed about his weakness. He couldn’t rise to her level, so he tried to dim her light instead.

Let him. Because a strong woman knows her worth. She doesn’t exist to be understood by weak men... she exists to be loved fully by a man strong enough to stand beside her, not one who runs the moment he’s asked to show up.
