Anonymous[quote=”April Masini”]If you act like a doormat people will step on you left and right. This problem isn’t about him — he’s been consistent from day one. The problem is you. You dated a guy who was never very nice to you and now you’re surprised that he’s behaving the way anyone looking in from outside could have predicted.
You need to take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself what you want from a relationship and how you’re going to get that. You also have to pay attention to peoples’ behavior and believe it — because it sounds like you were trying to impose your will on him to make him be someone he’s not and never was.

I hope this helps you get over the anger that you’re misdirecting at him. The truth is you’re mad at yourself, but it’s easier to blame him. Do the hard work and change your own behavior. The pay off will be huge. I promise.

How was I trying to impose my will on him when he pressured me to be in the relationship and be his friend from the beginning? I may make men I know aren’t good for me good for me anyway because I want to find love that bad, setting myself up for disaster, but “imposing”? No…and I don’t agree that it’s all my fault. I am only mad at myself for letting an emotionally unstable man into my life,believing everything he said, and allowing myself to be taken advantage of. & he wasn’t mean…just depressing and very negative.
