I am a lova of another. I have offered all and saved none for myself. I feel like I'm the creepy girl in the Ring trapped in the well. It should never be recommended to leave someone just because they are lacking. No one is perfect right? At this age a very important lesson is learned. Some people have the "perfect" relationships...something you would see on the office with Jim & Pam...or on the Cosby show with Cliff and Claire. Those people are very fortunate, but their plight may still end up the same.
When you're in a relationship with someone who is lacking your first instinct if you love them, is to be there for them and cover them. Then...this is where love takes you to school....you realize that you are unhappy. How did this happen? You love the person so much? This happens for some because going into their relationship they didn't know who they were. Then once they have developed a sense of self or desires, needs, and or wants...their partners no longer can meet their needs and they are just stuck. Then there are others who know who they are, but pride themselves on being relationship philanthropists and they survive as "True Romantics" in spite of themselves. They call themselves seeing "potential", this equates to them losing a lot and not getting there needs met fully. As women we shouldn't be scared to ask for a fulfilling relationship....because men expect and receive one from us. Sometimes you have to purposely decide to love yourself as much as you love someone else. Play fair and communicate your needs! If your needs are not being met don't be afraid to let them know they are running out of time.
"Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself"
Michel de Montaigne
