Thoughts That Touch My Heart

How And Why Women Get Played By Men Part 2—"Her feelings of inadequacy lend themselves to her trying more and more and putting up with worse and worse behavior... until he leaves. She then wonders what she did wrong… what she did to deserve him treating her so poorly. Her self-esteem has taken multiple hits… and she needs a boost. And oftentimes… another wrong guy begins filling that core need… and the cycle repeats. The way through: What's needed is a realization that in any relationship, there is always a trade-off. There will be needs of yours that can be met, and your partner can't. But if the relationship is based on them holding you at arm's length emotionally, the trade-off is most-often too unbalanced for any long-term success."-Charles J. Orlando
