What one of my patients told me about life and self love...

[hatgirl007]

Amen.
I know many people who can't spend time alone or who can't do anything alone. People are amazed when I tell them I went to a musuem, tried a new restaurant, or went to see a movie by myself. I always tell them if you don't love and feel comfortable with yourself; then how can anyone else be comfortable with you?

At least thats what I do now!

Marrying a bad man can ruin your life...

My ex has kids and their father is a total deadbeat. She really struggles because he can't always make child support and he's not there for the children too often in a physical sense.

I've met other women online whose exes and father of their children are EVEN WORSE and are dating again and they continue to seek men who they are 'attracted to in the first 5 seconds' and 'feel butterflies' for.

It's pretty amazing to me. When you've been burned so badly the first time, you are going to let your emotions choose for you again instead of picking one of the many good men who might not be that great looking or exciting.

This is true, and I have no idea why. This time around I have found such a wonderful man that I would just never want to part with.
