Relationships

SO FOR THE FIRST DAY OF THE CHALLENGE I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS! Yipee, relationships in my life have never been perfect, I always seem to find a way to mess them up, or I always run away from them. I don't know why I run away from them really, I guess I am just scared. I recently just got out of a 2 year relationship with a horrible person. He was just mean and made me feel like I was nothing at all, just a piece of dirt. He used me and made me think he loved me, but in the end I realized how manipulating he really was. I never felt so used in my life. He tried to tell me that I was the one that was using him and I was the one that cheated on him, when in all reality yes I did cheat on him, but it was because I believed he was cheating on me and I believed that he was the one being unfaithful to me. We spent a lot of time in our relationship trying to figure out what the other one was doing behind each others back, and it was so unhealthy. I just got tired, I guess the real turning point in our relationship was when we both put each other in jail. I put him in jail for something and he turned around 2 weeks later and put me in jail for the same thing. I was stupid enough to stay with him after he got me out of jail even though he had a protective order against me, I lived in constant fear, he would always threaten me saying you know you aren't suppose to be here in my house and you aren't suppose to even be in this vicinity, so I always was worried. It was a horrible way to live. I didn't want to live like that, but truly he made me feel like I had no where else to go, he made me feel like I had no friends, he made me feel like I didn't have a family that cared about me. He was very manipulative, always telling me that he was the only one that cared about me, and that he was never going to hurt me again. Now that I am single and loving it, I have a lot of time to look back on the relationship I had with him, and I have realized how truly messed up I was and how truly messed up he is for making me feel like that. Relationships are about making each other happy, not one person being happy (him) and the other one being miserable (me). I love being single and I wouldn't have it any other way, their are plenty of fish in the sea, and one day my knight in shining armor will arrive and we will live happily ever after!!!
