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.

Not every guy is like that, there r a lot of good guys out there. I'm in a similar situation where I stop myself from getting into a relationship but for different reasons. Also my beliefs have changed and now I'm a strict no sex before marriage, but I miss it so I'm weighing up the options. Don't u miss it?

@TheGoodGuy thank you! That’s me too. No sex before marriage too. And no, I don’t miss it at all. I’m happier just being on my own.

@TheGoodGuy it's mostly an internal issue...

@TheGoodGuy let me add... I know there are great guys out there. But not for me, I guess. Especially being a single mom of two? Who wants that? Even though it sounds like I’m putting myself down, I’m not. It’s a reality that I’m okay with. :)

@NaturalBeautyQueen what happened, what I did, why thank u??
Glad to hear it! Don't change that.
I miss it loads, maybe it's different for women? I can see the benefits of being single, but it's just that one thing really that makes me think twice, that basic human desire.

@TheGoodGuy yes there are great benefits to being single. Like I get to plan my life. And focus on my dreams. I get to focus more on my kids. I’ve discovered loving myself more. And the other thing is time I don’t have for a relationship. Relationships can be very stresssful as well. And my past relationships, the guys were too demanding.

@NaturalBeautyQueen I know for a fact there's many people who wont c kids as an issue. Would u marry a good guy u loved who has kids? Then it must b true the other way round too ☺
They can b stressful, but theres all the good stuff to - someone to b in love with, share everything with, spoon with, do the nasty with.. 😉 and loads more good stuff.. hugs are great too! 🤗
Im still waiting for u to tell me what the thank u was for..
