Men sometimes make the mistake of viewing women as fragile.
Well, that’s usually a very ignorant mistake because most women I have met in my life are pretty strong and respectable.
These strong women react differently from other women in tough situations.
You know that saying about “when the going gets tough, the tough gets going”?
It perfectly describes them.
They thrive in tough situations.
Anyhow, we all know that relationships come with a fair share of tough situations.
A strong woman stands out through it all with her resilience, independence, and unwavering self-esteem.
She faces situations and challenges without flinching.
She literally takes the bull by its proverbial horns when it comes to having difficult discussions about thorny issues in the relationship.
She is ready to fight for the success of her relationship if her partner is also willing to do the same.
But when she decides that enough is enough, what does she do?
Well, her actions usually speak far louder than her words, even though she would still let you know with her words.
In this article, we will explore those things a strong woman does when she is done with you.
Come along!
When A Strong Woman Is Done With You: She Does These 8 Things
1. She prioritizes her well-being
If you are wondering what makes a strong woman strong, her sense of self-worth is top-notch.
She knows her worth and doesn’t need validation from anyone to feel good about herself.
When a strong woman loves you, she prioritizes you.
You are a priority to her.
In fact, she loves and cares so much for you that she doesn’t think so much about herself because she expects you to do the same for her.
However, if you don’t reciprocate, she quickly comes to the realization that you are not worth all the fuss and she should rather be focusing on herself.
When a strong woman is done with you, she shifts her focus to herself.
Her sole concern is her well-being, and if you do anything that threatens it, she won’t hesitate to give you a piece of her mind.
She used to spend her time trying to communicate with you, loving you, and investing so much in the relationship.
Now, she invests her time in herself and things that interest her.
She is focused on her passions, hobbies, and growth.
She’d rather spend her time doing something purposeful and fulfilling than waste it on you.
Do you want to know why she does this?
Her happiness is no longer hinged on the relationship.
She now finds joy in her own fulfillment alone.
2. She sets clear boundaries
When a strong woman is done with you, she builds walls and boundaries to keep you well-behaved.
It is sad how some ladies tolerate disrespect, all in the name of being in love.
I remember when I was young, there was this older girl I had a schoolboy crush on.
She was so beautiful!
Well, I left home to attend university, and when I got back for the semester holidays, she was already married to a deadbeat guy staying in my neighborhood.
This guy would beat her up, and sometimes she’d angrily return to her father’s house, but in less than two weeks, she’d be back again.
I don’t understand why she tolerated that sort of disrespect.
However, I am sure you may cross the line once or twice with strong women, but the moment you cross that line one time too many, she will create clear boundaries and stick to them.
By doing this, she’s protecting her inner peace.
3. She stops communicating
Communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship.
If you want to know when a relationship is having issues, the first place you need to check is their communication.
How well are they communicating?
When a strong woman is done with you, she withdraws from conversations with you.
She doesn’t feel the need to explain herself or any of her decisions to you.
She embraces silence and civil but superficial conversations at best.
If you want to know if your relationship is at a dead end, the quality of your conversations can be enough evidence.
4. She enjoys her solitude
When a strong woman is done with you, she embraces solitude.
One of the things that makes a woman strong is her ability to enjoy her own company.
If one thing in life has set me apart, it is my love for my own company.
Most of the time, two is a crowd for me.
I love to be alone.
This is why I find it hard to tolerate people who can’t bear to be alone.
When a strong woman is done with you, she embraces solitude.
She spends quality time with herself.
While you may be feeling like her emotions have driven her into solitude, it is actually her choice.
She finds peace in solitude.
She uses this time to reflect, heal, and grow.
In fact, the period of solitude becomes a period of self-discovery for her.
5. She is independent
When a strong woman is done with you, she reclaims her independence from you.
Don’t get twisted; this doesn’t mean that she has ever been really dependent on you.
It just means that there is no way you can be in a relationship and expect that your decisions will not be influenced by those of your partner.
She starts making only decisions that align with her best interests without considering their impacts on you.
She no longer seeks your approval or sees any need to compromise her values for your sake.
The days of compromising are gone!
Right now, she is in her independent phase and would enjoy it, regardless of how you feel about it.
6. She no longer invests in the relationship
When a woman who used to be so invested in her relationship suddenly stops investing her effort into the relationship, it is a sign that her mind is already out of the relationship.
When a strong woman is done with you, those little efforts that once kept the relationship alive would cease.
She would no longer expend her energy and time trying to make the relationship work.
Do you remember how she used to go out of her way to pick up the slack all those times you dropped the ball?
She is no longer going out of her way to make you look good or save the relationship.
She is done with you and believes her efforts will be better deployed elsewhere.
When she is finally done with you, she gives up on any hope of rehabilitating you and just wants to be happy.
“Say something, I am giving up on you,” cries a woman who is in the process of giving up.
When a strong woman is truly done with you, she doesn’t want you to say anything.
She is done and just wants to do something else with her life.
7. She focuses on her support system
Family and friends!
Such a wonderful support system.
If you come from a good family of people who truly support you, you should be thankful for the gift of men.
When a strong woman is done with you, she knows the importance of having a strong support system, and her family and friends become her refuge.
She leans on her support system for strength so you may notice in the last days of your relationship that she is exceptionally close to her friends and family.
She is always meeting up with them or talking to them on the phone.
She is gathering strength for what needs to be done because breakups can still be tough for anyone, regardless of how strong she is.
This leads me to the final thing she does when she is done with you.
8. She moves on
Moving on can be really hard.
I know this because I have experienced it.
It is even more difficult to move on gracefully without holding onto bitterness and resentment.
One of the hallmarks of a strong woman is that when she decides she is truly done with you, she moves on gracefully without those messy dramas that usually accompany breakups.
She doesn’t accommodate thoughts of revenge.
Instead, she leaves the relationship with her head held high, knowing that she deserves more in a relationship.
She is focused on the future and what it will bring.
Also, she isn’t in a hurry to get into another relationship.
And if you think you can worm your way back into a relationship with her, you better pray for a miracle.
When a strong woman is done with you, the inevitable endpoint is that she moves on from the relationship.
This is not a decision that she took lightly.
So, if you are the type of guy who “only knows he loves her when he lets her go,” you may find out that your realization of love came far too late because she has already moved on.
I have never been a fan of letting someone go to know you love them.
You don’t have to lose a diamond ring before you know it is valuable.
Similarly, you don’t have to lose your woman before you know you love her.
Dear men, treat your women right so you don’t need to start scrambling around looking for how to worm your way back into their good graces.
And for the ladies, if you are in a relationship with someone who isn’t treating you right, why don’t you borrow a leaf from the strong women book?
You also deserve love and respect from the person you love.
