Forgotten birthdays and thoughtless holidays don't just disappoint you — they wound you.
You don't need fancy dates. You need presence. Undivided, genuine, phone-down attention. When someone gives you their time — really gives it, not while scrolling — you feel seen. Half-presence is worse than absence for you. A partner who's physically there but mentally elsewhere makes you lonelier than being alone. You'd rather have 30 minutes of real connection than a whole weekend of distracted coexistence.
