The Woman You Should Really Be With, Won’t Put Up With Your Sh*t

The woman you should really be with will be your counterpart. She will be the North to your South-facing compass. She will be the hot to your cool. She will be the silence to your voice. She will balance you. She will keep you grounded, yet free.

The woman you should really be with, will be the woman who stands by your side, not behind you while you lead the way. She will walk with you, arm in arm, hand in hand. She will be the woman who sometimes steps first, and who sometimes lets you take the lead.

She will be the woman with a voice, the woman who speaks up, the woman who fights for and with you.

The woman you should really be with will be strong. Strong enough to stand on her two feet, strong enough to stand up for you, and strong enough to stand up to you.

She will be the woman who pursues her dreams alongside yours. She will be the woman who relentlessly goes after her desires and the desires of those she loves. She will be the woman that won’t have a problem being honest with you, even if it’s hard for the both of you to hear.

The woman you should really be with will be feisty to your quiet, tender to your bold. She will be the woman that compliments you, challenges you, and makes you believe and fight for the promise of love.

The woman you should really be with won’t take it easy on you. She will share her opinions, be fierce when necessary, and argue with you about what counts.

She won’t stand on the sidelines, letting you walk all over her. She won’t be your mother, picking up after you and catering to your every need. She won’t be the woman that lets you treat her with disrespect.

She will be strong enough to demand equal treatment from you, and strong and self-confident enough to return it back to you.

The woman you should really be with won’t be timid about her love. She will love you fully. But she won’t love you blindly.

She is not like other women, who will let you make all the decisions, all the choices, and have all the say. She won’t let your relationship be one-sided, but will push the both of you to always improve, always treat each other right, always love with every bit you both have.

She won’t be easy. But that’s because love isn’t supposed to be easy. This woman, the woman who you should really be with, she will love the hell out of you. She will give her heart to you, and be by your side for every trial you face.

The woman you should really be with, she will make you a better man.
And she will be the best woman, and love you like no one ever has. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
