Thanks for reading and responding, as well as for sharing your story and experience. I’m glad you relate.

I just believe we have to get to know and love ourselves before we can truly share our lives with another. Short of that, it seems to end poorly.

I also think even in and maybe especially when we’re in relationships, we need to maintain our individuality and independence. Co-dependance is oh so toxic and also, never ends well.

Thanks again!
