I am a good man but i am not dumb. How many of us have experienced a relationship in which we knew it was not right but we had extreme difficulty walking away and staying away? Strength is knowing when to walk away from a bad relationship and doing it. Strength means not only knowing that the situation is bad for you but having that strength to walk away from it and stay away from it. The true lesson is to realize that we deserve better, we are better and we will leave the bad to seek better. Of course, I know, easier said than done but nothing is impossible when you realize that SELF is more important. Why limit yourself to a box filled with nothing but heartache and pain? It only limits you from reaching your full potential of happiness and overall well being because sometimes our relationships can have a negative impact on all aspects of our life - school, work, home and social life.
Being Mormon kinda limits your choice of possible people to date. The puddle is very small and i made a personal choice that i want to date someone who is of the same faith as i am.
There are few times that i have been so proud of myself as now. I am looking out for me, and for once putting me before someone else. My problem is that i stay trying to make a relationship work even when my gut feeling tells me otherwise. I usually worry where i would find another person, if the present relationship does not work. A selfish love has been my experience as of late. I have been lied to and have been lured to think that the problems that have been occuring have been my fault. I have been on the unfortunate side of a love that just take and never gives.
Yesterday i parted with Miss Thang (am trying to be ghetto here). No more feeling sorry for myself because i know my worth. It feels so good and peaceful and offers an inner confidence that trully words cannot fully describe. I have this smile on my face. I will no longer settle for whatever because i know i deserve heaven and earth.
I guess i showed myself that i was more important and loved myself enough to walk away.

I'm glad you aren't going to "settle" for someone. My wife gave my brother good advice the other day. She said something along the lines of, 'whatever its like while your dating, that's what its going to be like when you are married.' (Except she said it in a much eloquent way:))
