I needed to see THIS thread today

67. Never spoil your man; let him spoil you.

Now maybe I need to be fitted for a helmut because I'm not understanding this one. So it's ok for my man to spoil me but I'm not supposed to reciprocate?

i disagree with that one as well...

I also disagree with this one:

54. NEVER give more in a relationship than you are getting out of it.

[Chiante9]

9. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.


I learned this the hard way just recently. But I'm cool now.

Can I get an amen to this list........Reading this post really helped me to put my current relationship into perspective.

5. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.

8. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

11. Don't settle.

14. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.

19. You really do have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince.

20. Always put yourself and your happiness first.

29. You cannot change a man's behaviors. Change comes from within.

30. Don't let him place rules on you that he is not willing to follow himself --double-standard.

35. If you think he is cheating, he probably is. Confront him right away and if you feel he's lying, let him go.

43. Know that you deserve to be the number one person in the life of the #1 person in your life.

45. Learn to give up your lifelong task of trying to make someone unavailable-available, someone ungiving-giving, and someone unloving-loving.

49. If you don't love self...you can't love anyone else.

50. You cannot mend someone else's broken heart.

51. You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage...deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.

57. A real healthy relationship requires two people. One person can end it - but it takes two to make it work.

62. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.

66. Never believe you have the perfect guy and he is so innocent.

69. When it's time to let go; let go.

70. Good men should be treated like good men.

73. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

These deserve to be repeated!!!
