I don't always agree with you. In fact, there are times I think you're dead wrong. That being said, you are spot on here. I was one of those women for years, beautiful, educated, excellent career, a good and faithful partner that would do anything for my man. And my self esteem was in the toilet. It wasn't until I learned to value myself that I could demand being valued. So many women are terrified of being alone. Alone isn't a bad thing. It's a good thing. If you're not okay with who you are as an individual, you won't be okay with someone else. I have to say, I enjoyed this piece.
