I Am Scared of Relationships

I don’t want to be in a relationship. My past relationships, I was hurt constantly. Was constantly put down. Verbal and emotional abuse. Told what to wear and how to style my hair. Worried if I wasn’t good enough. Always trying to please him. Even after he’s brought me down. Constantly talking about my weight, my hair, my clothes, any and everything. Making me feel like I was nothing. All of this trying to control me. When talks of marriage sounded like nothing but some prison to where he could own me. Make me feel like a slave. You would think that I’ve learned the first time. But to my surprise, get hurt again, the exact same way.

I can’t do this again. Not to myself. While my children watch. I can’t do this to them either. I would rather be single for the rest of my life, than to be in some worthless relationship. My kids come first.

And right now, I am very happy. I’m happy to be on my own, single and loving life. Just me and my babies.

Nobody telling me how to look. I can be beautiful and look beautiful by myself. I can love myself by myself. If I ever decide to date again, which I doubt, but if, there’d have to be a sign letting me know this guy is the one. Because I refuse to let anybody into my life, breaking my true happiness. I don’t have time for it.

There are benefits to being single. Marriage is not for anyone, especially in today's world.

So much emotional hurt, not worth it unless the relationship is genuine.

@Raffie marriage is definitely not for me. I realized that from my last relationship. When I dealt with abuse from my ex family.
