That is so diametrically opposed to my philosophy, I cannot believe she published it...
Personally, I would much rather be alone, than to be in a relationship that was neither fulfilling nor love-rich. |
Yes. Oh hell, yes! The only people who think they want that kind of relationship are the ones who haven't been through it.
It sucks, big time. Never settle, or sacrifice your dreams or freedom for "good enough." It will only come back to bite you in the end.

Interesting...I was both wanted and needed, but not appreciated or cared for. There was no reciprocity; I took care of him, and I took care of me.
Never again.
