I am posting this as a warning to those ladies who are in relationships where they feel inferior to their man, or they feel "not good enough," especially if they have a man who talks down to them. I just got out of a 3-year relationship with a guy who acted like he was God's gift to women and I actually believed it! I actually thought I was blessed to have him, even though he was a jerk who talked down to me and told me he wished I was more successful and more career-driven. And I am an attractive, intelligent woman!! Why do we do it? Anyway, I finally dumped him a few months ago.
Now he is dating a girl who is none of things that he wished I was. Not to be rude, but she is no better than I am. My point is that I realize now that he was desperate and insecure and used meanness as a way to keep me down and keep me in love with him. These types of men are not tough and strong like we think they are - they are insecure and weak and will do anything to keep you down. Now, I know I was weak for falling for it, but if any of you are in that situation - don't let that man make you feel any less than the fabulous, strong, beautiful woman that you are! The more you focus on that, the less you will need him and you may realize that you need to end it and focus on yourself.
There are good guys out there who are confident enough to treat you like the beautiful woman that you are! I have friends who are married to wonderful men so I know they exist.
Have a great day everyone.



That's a wonderful reminder to all women, and I whole-heartedly agree.
Good for you for recognizing that he was treating you poorly and for getting yourself out of the situation. I know that can be really difficult for a lot of women.
Kudos to you - and may you find the man who will appreciate how great you are, and tell you that often. :)
AJ, enjoying life with C.
