This article was revelational to me. After about a year of confusion (of what has actually happened; who I've been with; what's his deal; what have I done wrong; and other emotionally exhausting questions), I've finally see it clearly now.

Went to the link . . . could have been my relationship 9 out 10.  The hardest part about this lesson is that I will have to start weighing/judging people and being more cautious with my heart which makes the world feel rather scary.  THANK YOU!  OMG
