Frida Kahlo once told her husband, "I'm not asking you to kiss me or to apologize when I think you're wrong. I won't ask you to hug me when I need it most, or to tell me I'm beautiful, even if it's a lie. I won’t ask you to write me sweet words, call me to share how your day went, or tell me you miss me. I won’t ask you to appreciate what I do for you, to care for me when my soul is weary, or to support my decisions. I won’t even ask you to listen when I have a thousand stories to share. I won’t ask you for anything—not even to stay by my side forever. Because if I have to ask, I don’t want it anymore."
