When It's Not Love

Dear Bitter Single Guy,

Is it just me or do most human beings NOT understand what love really is? I dumped my boyfriend and started seeing someone new. My ex-boyfriend was greatly upset by this and I had to enforce a no contact rule.

After years of dating and finally finding the one, here is my list of rules to donate to Bitter Single People:

1. If you have to beg to be loved or have someone spend time with you, you have picked the wrong person.

2. If you have to beg to be treated well, you have picked the wrong person.

3. If you have to change yourself, you have picked the wrong person.

4. If you have to walk on eggshells, you have picked the wrong person.

5. If you have to physically defend yourself, you have picked the wrong person.

6. If your partner ever insults you on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, then you have picked the wrong person.

7. If YOU are not fully happy and satisfied with your relationship on a regular basis, then YOU have picked the wrong person.

I don't care how much you love a person, you must end any relationship that is destructive! Life is too short to waste it on an unsuccessful relationship! The sooner you end an unsuccessful relationship the sooner you will find the love of your life and find yourself in a relationship that works!

This is my good deed for the day :) SF
