Posted by Annette on 6/15/2006, 5:45 am I seem to experience and repeat the same story. Different men, different looks, but same story at least my feelings about it. This little story illustrates the repeating story:
I would like to have some simple and good advise/sharing on the subject - how to live a life with a man without loosing one self.
Met this fantastic man 2 month ago. He was on the phone 3 times a day, mails and sms all the time, wanted me, wanted a relationship, told his children, his mother "I want you in my life" etc.
I kept my independence, my feelings, my sense of self in the beginning, however, one day or another I got swept a way. I began to believe what he said. And... from being interested in me and my life, very much in love, I was the most fantastic girl - very special, to boring phone conversations about his work (yes, I must say no) and I feel that he withdraws. My feelings are : Hurt, abandonment-feelings and anger. Also "why did'nt I just this time took care of my self". But I do not know how. In order not to shut men out, I have to open up and trust in a good relationship. But how do I trust, look for signs and take care of myself in the same time? this man is perhaps just busy, he still calls me, so this is absolutely also about my need for confirmation and love.I need so much to be safe - and that is my codependent issues.
Please let me know if you have some simple good advise on this. Thanks. Love Annette
