Love advice from a married woman: There are always rotten men out there but that does not mean that there is no one who would totally love and care for you. sometimes, you need to get hurt many times before finding the right person for you. for some, it might be superficial to say that God actually puts two people together at the right time and the right place, but it is is real. it happened to me. so do not lose hope. true love will come when you least expected it and most often to the person you never thought you would ever love.
Use your hurt to find yourself and build yourself to become stronger. do not be co-dependent. find your own identity, and do not lose it even in a relationship. if you do have to change, change for the better. not for him but yourself.
love yourself. you deserve it.
