Hi, I just stole this from my friends Myspace Blog to put in here for my own future reference the next time I decide to have another relationship b/c I think this is a very true, and sometimes i forget stuff like this.
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. In my experience, if a man is truly interested he wont want to rush things. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then HELL NO, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Furthermore, don't convince yourself that a man WANTS to give you more than he is actually giving. If he wanted to give you more, HE WOULD! Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. Change comes from within. You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two way street.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you speak up. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are. Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. All men are NOT dogs.
