Unfortunately, I do want a provider. I do want a protector. I do want a leader. I do want a dominant man. I do want emotional maturity and effective communication. I do want mental stability. I do want to be spoiled. I do want self awareness. I do want clingy, obsessed and safe. I do want someone who chooses me every time. And nobody is going to make me feel bad for wanting those things in a partner.
Do I want to give my child the privilege of having both mommy & Daddy together? Absolutely I’d go through hell & back for that, but I will not sit in an unhappy toxic miserable situation teaching my child that’s okay to deal with a man’s bullshit for the sake of a child. Nah, sorry!
