Whenever I am that attracted to someone, I had better run as fast as I can away from that person. Experience has taught me that anyone I am that attracted to is very bad for me.
It doesn't really matter what I think I am. The only thing that matters is how a significant other would perceive me. I would hopefully appear strong in their eyes.
The sad fact is that a lot of people have been used and abused in their lives. Most can't see it or refuse to see it. The fact that you not only see it but want to do something about it speaks volumes. Don't give in to the little voice telling you to call TX.
You are still very young and have figured that part out. The only thing you can do is go forward from here. Learn these lessons well so you don't have to keep repeating them. I wish I had been as smart as you at that age.
It took me a lot longer to figure that out. There is something to be said for waiting til marriage. Makes life a whole lot less complicated, and also allows you to really fall in love with someone without the lust misleading you.
You've got a good man in your life right now and you still want to chase after the loser. You need to break out of the "I want a bad boy" cycle if you would like things to be different in your life.
I fractured my right heel on halloween. I am still in a cast til after Christmas. I haven't worked since the Monday before halloween. I have been going to a few Christmas parties and am also beginning to map out my goals for next year. Life is good.

I was just offering advice. Don't think she was meaning me. I may resemble that remark.
