But we as women are nurturing, we feel as though we have the ability to make everything ok, to comfort wounds of others that only God himself can heal. So what's next, we cater, we stick by, we defend and we love so hard that we forget to love ourselves. Most women that are stuck in these painful relationships are women that are in need of something, There is that never ending search of finding someone that will love them, so the first man that says it or shows us a little affection, What do we do? We jump off a bridge without a parachute, especially if you didn't have that Father or father figure around as a child. I know because I to was like this. My Love for this man went South about 7 years into the relationship, I started to become numb because of the countless times I had caught him cheating, and the name calling... all that degrading and putting me down was just part of his daily routine, then you start believing it, you start feeling like this is just a part of life, you long for love so much so that you let him get away with murder, you compromise just to keep him. Why are we so afraid to be lonely? I can think back to the nights and morning we'd have sex and tears would just quietly roll down my face. At the time I had no relationship with God, but I would still ask him, Would my life be like this forever? and there is a God who is not only kind to the good, but who is also kind to the wicked ! because not long after that I was delivered from this corrupted involvement.
