It should come NATURALLY for a man to want to have fun with you, take you out, feed you, do nice things for you, and compliment you.
You should never have to teach someone to do that.
AND SUDDENLY YOU'RE 26-27 SITTING ALONE IN YOUR ROOM, PARENTS ARE OLD, YOUR SIBLINGS ARE MARRIED AND BUSY WITH THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND THERE'S NO ONE YOU CAN TALK TO AND NO ONE CHECKS ON YOU.
WHAT IS IT CALLED — LONELINESS OR FREEDOM. WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS HEAVY.
As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, It’s hurtful and manipulative, and it’s not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.
Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have not done my best. My current situation is a direct consequence of my incompetence. I suck at doing this life thing.
