Read a number of these comments and they seem to imply that strength in a woman means they can “fix” the situation, or “strength ” of a woman means they will do anything to stay with the situation. I think the saying is pretty simple. It means when a woman feels unwanted, a strong woman will have the ability to walk away (and I would insert, because they have a strong sense of self worth). The woman’s strength won’t feel the need to Fix It, or Beg, she will just be able to walk away. (and, can I add, IF… Read more »

Truth!! If you are feeling unwanted most likely it’s because you are. One instinctively knows when they are cherished, loved and wanted. If not, walk. Don’t waste your time trying to convince and bargain. Put that energy into finding a man that wants you.

I’ve always tried until you just realize there’s no hope anymore. Then I move on knowing I did what I could and I’m happy with it. Much easier to make room in my heart for next person who deserves it.

A strong woman recognizes what’s worth fighting for! Sometimes the hardest, and bravest thing to do is stay and make things work. Not because you need them, but you know what they have to offer and sometimes it takes a special person to bring that out in someone… I don’t know one couple that’s been together over 20 years that haven’t had moments in their relationship where they could have called it quits but didn’t. If the love is there then make it work. To me that’s strength! Then again if the love is gone, then it’s time to walk… Read more »

I just dropped my shoulders one day and stopped the fight when I realized ot was one sided. I Said talk to you later. I pray he comes to his senses, but only way to see. I was tired. A relationship that is working shouldn’t be a constant struggle.

Feeling unwanted isn’t the same as being unwanted. Be willing to discuss your problems with your partner if you truly love them and value your relationship. There may be more going on with your significant other than what you’re seeing. Especially in the case of depression.

If you can walk away that easily, then you obviously didn’t value the relationship to begin with.

Those are the same strong women that “presume” that they are unwanted and leave without having a talk or without trying to fix things…
A TRUE strong person will try to talk and fix things instead of just leaving when things go wrong…
That’s how so many relationships are ruined now a days…

It is also a matter of perception. Often what one person sees as themselves making an effort is not perceived that way by the partner. This is where communication comes in. However, as with my ex, I talked and talked to try and figure out why he was doing the things he did and help him to see that is was truly hurting our relationship. (Lying, being verbally & emotionally abusive) He was of the mind that he could do no wrong. He made no effort to change things, so I walked away. He blames everyone but himself. Some people… Read more »

I pushed my true love away and I am deeply regretting it and the mistakes I made…..she is the love of my life and I screwed up

Yup!!! Can’t wait on ppl who put in no effort. I’d rather live my life alone in bliss and happiness ☺️

Yes!!!! A strong women will do everything she can until she reaches her limits and has been pushed too many times. You can only knock a person down and expect them to stand next you for so long.. Eventually they will get up and walk away!!!!

Even being a strong woman she could still feel unwanted. She can try to fix her situation or leave it alone.

Mostly people here have missed the keyword; unwanted and talking about fixing and walking away. If you both make efforts and try to fix things together, it’s great. But when someone feels unwanted and feels like he/she is the only one working for it, then they should walk away.

disagree…a strong woman is gonna fight like hell if her heart is genuine as well as him. Too many just want to walk away…not right at all. People need to learn their hearts and how to use good old common sense. Not right to have someone fall in love with you…and then…omg its getting hard for what ever reason…and bam..walks away. Grow up.

False. A strong woman does what she feels is best.

This is in reference to 2 people before the court side- before a relationship starts? Playing the game- not chasing the man?? Still don’t – completely agree with it RR

Totally disagree !!! A strong woman fights for her relationship and fights to fix it, even if she feels unwanted, you never walk away without trying to right the wrongs X

It’s a true a strong woman knows a good time to walk away and she can do that because she tried to make a relationship work .

The word “unwanted” is pretty much open for different perspectives.
I tend to feel unwanted a lot, but that has to do with my esteem, anxiety and depression. When my fiancé wants me and only me…
I think the stronger woman is the one who puts on her big girl pants and says, fuck yeah… We’re going to work on this. If you don’t want to put the effort in, then bye… And goes from there.

True. why should you stay or beg for someone when they make you feel unwanted . There will be someone out there that will make you feel appreacited and wanted. This post is talking about self worth not about not trying to work things out in a relationship . Theres a difference in those two topics working in a relationship that is going through hard times, yes work it out. All relationships have some hard times. But being in a relationship or in a stage of dating/getting to know someone, that makes you feel unwanted walk away. You can’t force… Read more »

If a woman/man, are looking for a parent figure in a relationship they need to stay alone and seek help to figure out their issues first. I agree, if a woman or man are the ones “making it work” is not worth the effort.I understand, being in the sidelines and cheering one another. But, when the relationship is more pain than happiness is time to move on.. been there !! 😛

Relationship Rules? Who Rules the Relationship? Women who care stay, unless she finds someone who interested them. A Woman can’t be controlled by words alone. She, has to love you to try, if she walks away. Well your probably better off without Her. I never cheat, im polite, i treat who im dating with respect and im not violent. My girl leave me for a guy who is better looking. I cant be competitive with a guy who has a nice body or Face. Granted not all women are like this but a good Relationships is very hard to find.

I think the key word in this quote is “unwanted.” You can only work on a relationship (marriage, friendship, etc) if both parties are putting in the effort. If the other person doesn’t want you, no amount of effort you put in to fix things will make a difference. It will just cause a lot of uneeded heartache and pain that will be drawn out longer than it needs to be.

Not necessarily true, a strong woman will try her hardest to make a relationship work, but a strong woman knows when to walk away…I have a weak heart and empathy for my LOVE. No matter how strong we are, we will have that one person we can’t just walk away from.
