Dear Son, I Paid for Love With My Future—Don’t Make the Same Mistake
Son, let me confess something most men will never admit out loud.
I once gave my entire future to a woman.
My time.
My money.
My energy.
My ambition.
I thought that sacrificing everything for love would prove my worth.
I thought that if I worked harder for her than for myself, she would never leave.
But I was wrong.
Because love built on sacrifice without boundaries isn’t love—it’s slavery.
I stopped chasing my dreams to chase her approval.
I stopped building my future to build her comfort.
And when she had drained me of all I had?
She left anyway.
Son, remember this:
A woman who truly loves you will never demand the death of your purpose.
She will never ask you to kill your calling just to prove your loyalty.
She will walk with you in your mission—not replace it.
Don’t be the man who pays for “love” with the very thing that defines him—his future.
Build first.
Stand firm.
Guard your destiny like treasure.
Because the wrong woman can cost you everything, but the right one will multiply what you’ve built.
Never forget: Your purpose is bigger than her feelings.
