I know in many cases what you say is true WenD08, but I think sometimes we are too quick to blame the other person and say they can't handle a "strong black woman" yada yada. The danger of this is that we will continue to make bad choices, because after all, it's not our fault, it's them. I think we ALL could stand to be introspective after a break up and say "What was my ROLE in this?" not he couldn't deal with my successful/strong self. I think even if that is the case, the question becomes what lead me to choose a man who was not more secure with himself?
