Thank you! I’m happy being single and independent and if I’m seen as selfish for it, so be it. I will never allow anyone to put me down or “in my place” again.

Easier said than done for alot of people who are in that situation….

You will never know until you feel the pain ? don’t cheat

Reading this puts the last 3 years in perspective. I have been settling.. I need to make some changes. TY

If you learn from it would be great dont jump back in with another looser

but i like her so much! ive got evry god damn reason to leave her… but its the the fckin love that takes me back to her?

Know your worth people and NEVER settle. Settling means giving up on yourself and you should always come first. If you are not happy how can you make anyone else happy. ❤

U will never have to settle anymore and I will try to do everything I can do in my power so that u don’t have to suffer!!

This is another one I wish so many people could see ???

I know, but getting out is not that easy

This is something that more ppl need to realize! There are so many out ther just settling because they dont have the patience to wait for something real! Which… in turn hurts them more & builds walls that are difficult for them to see actual ppl that wont hurt them but love them they want/deserve to be loved! Kinda pisses me off!!!

Break up to make up isn’t a relationship. Its a dependency. And everyone is strong enough to handle it. But, sometimes, even the loneliest people needs friends and compatriots.

Sounds like most of my life summed up in a nutshell. Wonder when my brain will start being stronger than my heart?

In a heartbeat…. No ones time should be abused and or wasted. LIFE itself is short it should be honored and appreciated. @ Jason Getz I agree, there are many contributing factors to that, especially to the younger generations. Go out on a date, end up having a kid then forced in to getting married, thats one factor. Or the other way around… We all know the “desperate” situation, low self esteem deal to name a few. Oh well, all this rushing will eventually lead to divorce or separation or unhealthy family. Infedility, cheating and lying are also other factors.… Read more »

I was having a conversation about this matter yesterday, I really don’t understand why so much women accept these behaviors even if they’re hurting, they try to justify them, hoping that one day he will change etc. This is so far from my mindset I can’t imagine the reason why a woman should settle for this. Maybe they’re afraid they will never find another man? Bullshits. The ocean is full of fishes, but more than this, you don’t fucking need a man for your life to be complete. Probably too much women still think they must have a man and… Read more »

Exactly!! That is physical abuse and also partners you are NOT combatible with. Dont let looks confuse you a bad relationship is a bad relationship. .

Completely agree with this! I settled for 12 yrs and that is time I’ll never get back but I can definitely say it won’t happen again as I’ve learned from my past and look forward to a better future 🙂

Distance yourself from this person…whomever it may be!! Give yourself time enough away to realize it…get out of the smoke and fire…and you will see more clearly…I did not for almost 11 years…3 kids….all my 20.s
I didn’t realize until I left …I got away and then I saw…but never before like when I was there…in It..playing the motions…best wifey, mother, daughter…but lost me!! Promise yourself to just go away for a weekend…no contact!!! Trust me people….I am free…but only you can set yourself free..your choice!!! Quit enabling the situation and take control of YOU✌

Amen! My only marriage was with a Narcissistic Mormon broke free from that 4 years ago,no regrets! And two years ago got ensnared with another damn Narc. I am a Narc warrior. Happily solo for 2 years & 2 months. I know my worth, will NEVER settle ever again! If i have to wait forever for my forever I am at peace with that.
