a good relationship changes you in the best way. It teaches you that "take it or leave it" isn't maturity - it's fear. When you truly love someone, you want to understand them, meet them halfway, and do your part to grow. Healthy love doesn't demand perfection, just effort and self-awareness.
I do not handle hurt well at all and I do not like who I become when I am hurting. That's why I really don't like being mistreated or played with. If you aren't genuine, don't even bother me, Just move around.
@WillAttract If you accept that this "intimacy" is merely an investment she makes to secure a higher return on your labor, what is the mathematical probability that the "intimacy supply" will continue once your income hits a plateau and can no longer be "multiplied" by her affection?
DO NOT MAKE LIFE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND. Do not stay close to home for them, do not skip opportunities for them, do not pick a university that's close for them. They not the world! Grow yourself, expand your horizons.
