Hi there everyone!
I am a 28 year old woman from Brooklyn who has been in a complicated relationship with someone who was once her best friend. While I have hope that this man loves me and wants to be with me, I am unsure about a lot of things - like if my anger at the things he does is justified. He has hundreds of female friends whom I've never met, he doesn't seem to value or understand my feelings and he thinks that everything he does is justified.
I am very independent, have my own place, a good job and I've decided not to settle down with him unless he shows me he can be caring and thoughtful.
We were friends for 2 years and have been dating off and on for 2 years..But we constantly argue and it's getting less and less evident that it's worth trying to work things out.
I, myself, offer great relationship advice because I have been in many situations and understand how important it is to keep perspective. Yes, that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger, but sometimes we slowly die when we do not have the energy to fight anymore.
I would like to meet others who are struggling with their relationship, too, so that we can find a way to understand our emotions and make things work without losing our sanity.
