Them.

It's that one relationship you want to escape, but it constantly drags you back in. It's the person you can't stand but feel like you can't leave behind either. It's that love/hate relationship that keeps you coming back for more and miserable. And even when you want out, there seems like there's no way to escape that you want to take. Here's my advice: Don't settle, Don't back down, Don't compromise. No good will come out of it, and you shouldn't have to sacrifice who you are, for ANYONE. and anyone who tells you different is lying to you.

“Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.”

True Love isn't selfish, it's selfLESS. When you love the other person more than you love yourself, when you think about what's best for both of you, not just what you'll get out of it.
Anyone have some lessons learned, perhaps ones learned the hard way? I want to know. Tell me about it if you feel comfortable. We won't judge you here.
