I once settled for a guy a while ago. At that time, my self esteem was very low & I was looking for someone to fill a void in my life. Now that I'm stronger, I will never again settle for anything less than what I deserve!

Is sad when you love someone and he is great in many aspects, many of them i truly like and admire, but that person is so controlling and manipulator you ended doubting yourself about eveyrhing. And the fear of never finding someone like him takes over

I definitely was in a relationship like this for a year and finally ended it. I told him to lets be friends. I love him but it wasn't going anywhere. I felt like no one else would want me if i wanted to leave him. So this post is 100% true

I empathise with each and every honest confession or rather careful observations made by the writer. A part of me slipped away and feelings were like vortex. In the end , I couldn't even explaining what I was going through. But having my parents see through me, helped me out of it and now I feel like myself again and learning to shed away the patches it left on me.
