Do You Live For YOUR Man?

Well, I hope not but sad to say I know some females who seem like they live for their man. To the point where if it didn't work out I don't know what they would do with themselves. It's pretty sad if you ask me and I never want to slip into the "living for my man" category.

Now, you may wonder what sparked this right? Well my co-worker send me this email and it was titled "Never Live Your Life for a Man". Below, I will add what is said. EVERYTHING is there is TRUE. Please DO NOT SKIM IT LADIES.

"Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you trulyhappy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you asyou deserve then NO, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing youalong, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will getbetter." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying whenthings are not better.The only person you can control in a relationship is you.Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of differentwomen. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would hetreat you any differently? Always have your own set of friendsseparate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. Ifsomething bothers you, speak up.Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later. Youcannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within. Don't EVERmake him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has moreeducation or in a better job
Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothingless.Never let a man define who you are.Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheaton you. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.All men are NOT dogs, But Most ARE! You should not be the one doingall the bending... compromise is two way street.You need time to heal between relationships... there is nothing cuteabout baggage...Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... a relationshipconsists of two WHOLE individuals... look for someone complimentary,notSupplementary. Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. Make him miss yousometimes... when a man always know where You are, and you're always
readily available to him - he takes it for granted. Never move intohis mother's house.Whether it's a car or his actionsNever co-sign for a man. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't giveyou everything that you need and want.Keep him in your radar but get to know others. This will either makeyou smile, rethink your current situation/choices, and another womanprepare, and a man aware. If a man wants you, nothing can keep himaway. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition(or spirit) to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourselffor a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better in all Cases."
