There is a big difference between letting a relationship develop naturally and letting somebody keep you in limbo.
A man doesn’t have to propose on date three. 😂
But months of:
“Why do we need labels?”
“Let’s just see what happens.”
“Why are you putting pressure on this?”
…while nothing actually moves forward?
Baby, the flow may be flowing nowhere.
You’re allowed to want clarity. You’re allowed to ask where something is going. And you’re allowed to decide that indefinite uncertainty doesn’t work for you.
If you’re still asking yourself whether you should stay or go, I made a scorecard to help you look at the situation more clearly. It’s linked in my bio.

What if the man you prayed for showed up tomorrow?
Not just attractive. Not just exciting.
A man who communicates. Commits. Plans. Shows up consistently. Gives you the kind of relationship you keep saying you want.
Would you be free to choose him?
Or are you still sitting in a relationship you’re not sure about because of everything you’ve already invested?
That’s why I want you to stop having the whole argument in your head.
Not his potential.
Not the memories.
Not what you hope happens next.
The relationship you actually have.
If you’ve been going back and forth about whether to stay or go, I made a scorecard to help you look at the evidence instead of second-guessing yourself.

A clearly bad relationship eventually gives you something obvious to reject.
But an unsure man?
He can give you just enough attention to stay interested.
Enough affection to stay hopeful.
Enough possibility to keep thinking, “Maybe he just needs more time.”
And before you know it, six months became two years.
His uncertainty does not have to become your waiting room.
If you’re trying to decide whether this relationship deserves more of your time, stop grading his potential.
Grade what’s happening right now.
My Should I Stay or Should I Go? relationship scorecard walks you through exactly that. $7 — link in bio.
Is he really your answer to Ciara’s prayer… or have you just invested too much time to want to start over? 👀
Here’s the harder question:
If you met this man TODAY — knowing everything you know now — would you still choose him?
Not the version from the beginning.
Not the potential.
Not the man you hoped he would become.
This man. This relationship. Right now.
Because sometimes women aren’t staying because the relationship is working.
They’re staying because leaving makes all the time, energy, forgiveness, memories and effort already invested feel wasted.
But staying longer doesn’t give you that time back.
So stop asking only what you’d be giving up.
Ask:
What am I choosing from here?
And if you’re genuinely stuck between staying and leaving, my Should I Stay or Should I Go? relationship scorecard is linked in my bio.
If you keep asking yourself, “Should I leave him?” stop asking that question for a second.
Ask yourself this instead:
If absolutely nothing about this relationship changed, would I willingly choose this exact same relationship one year from today?
Not if he communicated better.
Not if the effort improved.
Not if he finally became consistent.
Not if he turned into the man you know he could be.
This exact relationship.
Because sometimes the decision isn’t really:
“Do I want this relationship?”
It’s:
“Am I willing to let go of the relationship I keep hoping this will become?”
Those are two completely different decisions.
If you’re stuck between the facts and the potential, my Should I Stay or Should I Go? relationship scorecard helps you put the situation on paper and see what you’re actually choosing.

When I heard “session 19,” my first thought was:
At what point does getting more information become a way of postponing the decision?
You’ve talked about him.
Cried about him.
Prayed about it.
Researched it.
Asked your friends.
Asked your family.
Maybe even talked about it in therapy.
And the facts still haven’t changed.
That doesn’t mean you’re stupid.
It doesn’t mean you should be ashamed of how long it took.
But eventually clarity can sound like:
“I have enough information. Now I need to decide.”
If you’re still genuinely asking, “Should I stay or should I go?” put the relationship on paper instead of having session 20 with yourself.
My $7 Should I Stay or Should I Go? relationship scorecard is linked in my bio.
A man can sound like everything you want and still give you absolutely nothing to build a relationship on.
He can tell you how much he wants you.
How ready he is.
How serious he is.
How good of a man he is.
Okay.
Where is the date?
Where is the consistency?
Where is the plan?
Where is the actual movement?
I’ve spent 16 years learning not to be persuaded by a good story when the evidence says something different — and women do this in dating all the time.
We give his words more weight than his behavior.
Stop.
If you’re trying to decide whether this man or relationship deserves more of your time, score what he is actually doing — not what he says he intends to do.
That’s exactly why I created my Should I Stay or Should I Go? scorecard.

If you don’t want to tell your family or friends what’s really happening between you and this man, there may be a reason.
Sometimes we already know the relationship or situationship is less than what we deserve — we’re just not ready to be completely honest with ourselves yet.
And I’m not saying that with judgment.
I’m saying it because I’ve been there.
Here’s what I know now:
You do not have unlimited time to waste trying to make an unequal relationship work.
You deserve mutual effort.
You deserve consistency.
You deserve someone willing to put into the relationship what you are willing to put in.
And if you’re still trying to decide whether this situation is actually right for you, stop arguing with yourself in circles.
Put it on paper.
Look at the facts.
Then make the decision from clarity.
I created Should I Stay or Should I Go? specifically for women who are stuck in that exact place.

She basically said sometimes you have to go back 5, 6, 7 times until YOU finally get sick enough of the pattern to stop going back.
And listen… my first reaction was: “Wait. This sounds toxic as hell.” 😭
But I understand what she means.
Your mama can tell you.
Your therapist can tell you.
Your best friend can already be completely over him.
And you may STILL go back.
Sometimes you have to become tired enough of the pattern to stop romanticizing the good parts.
But every time you go back, ask:
What actually changed?
Did the consistency change?
Did the commitment change?
Did the behavior that made you leave change?
If nothing changed, eventually the question becomes:
How many more times am I willing to live the same story?

Trying to figure out whether you should stay in your relationship or leave?
Here’s where we get ourselves in trouble: we start making the decision based on the history, the potential, the good years, the apology, or what he says he’s going to do next.
Instead, ask yourself:
What is actually happening in this relationship right now?
Not what used to happen.
Not what could happen.
Not what you hope happens.
What is he actually doing?
If you keep going back and forth asking, “Should I stay or should I go?” I created a $7 relationship decision guide to help you get the facts out of your head and onto paper.
