"If they wanted to, they would." But love isn't that simple. People don't exist just to meet our expectations, life happens. Stress, personal struggles, and circumstances beyond their control can affect how they show up. Oversimplifying relationships ignores the fact that effort isn't just about wanting, it's about being able. Instead of seeing everything as a test of love, try to understand that people have lives outside of their feelings for you.
