No matter how beautiful or intelligent you think someone is, no matter how much you like them, no matter their achievements or their interests, or how long you’ve been together with them,

all of that goes out the window if they don’t have a good personality.

if they can’t even give you basic respect and empathy, they’re not worth your time.


You’ll always be the one who taught me that.

Was your boyfriend not empathetic?

My ex? No, he was the complete opposite of empathetic hahah. He would get annoyed if someone was in need of help and would put absolutely no effort into helping. It didn’t matter who - it could be a friend asking him to help me on a homework problem, a homeless person asking for some spare change, or even just me asking him to check whether it was raining.

My current boyfriend is the opposite. I try not to compare them, but it’s a very clear contrast between him and my ex and makes it easy to see who is a keeper.
