You will l ike it so much that you will never be able to tolerate or accept less from anyone else.....

I don't know if you cry easily or not...but, I think your reaction of wanting to go away and cry is actually a bit of grieving over your past treatment....
Grieving and getting in touch of the sadness is a part of healing...I think....

FindingAmy

My STBAXH held the door for everyone, but me. He was the "nicest guy" to everyone, but me. I too would look at other couples longingly wishing I had what they had. Not only did my husband never open a door, but I always had to drive. Like I was the man in the relationship. I used to say to him that I wanted to feel like a lady and can't he please drive?? Nope. I always had to drive. I soooo look forward to someday meeting a man that treats me with love and respect and holds a door for me or reaches into a cab to grab my hand. Someday. Thanks for the post.
