Epiphany

I'm realizing something in my response to men I'm talking to.

I have little to no respect for a man (Dom) who is in a miserable relationship situation and unwilling to change it until he has something else lined up.

Maybe it is because of my mother and the fact that she has never lived on her own a day in her life.

I just feel like you have to care about yourself and your happiness enough to want to make the change for yourself. Have enough confidence in yourself to figure things out without a woman to take care of you.

I get it if kids are involved, that's a semi-valid excuse. (Though what are you showing them about life and happiness by staying in a miserable situation?)

At least be honest with yourself (and me) that you're in it for the money and security vs. the genuine happiness and sexual fulfillment.

Who would want it all anyway?

Oh yeah...me.
