lol maybe my wording is off WildChild.

Objectively, I see YOU expending the majority of the energy to help him deal with HIS issues. If he doesn't change, or, you miss out on someone great along the way, where will this all leave you?
I don't feel myself doing any work towards this. We have a wonderful time together in each other's company, he's the first person to make me laugh in so long and our personalities click to a creepy point. I am DEFINITELY not closing off my options. I am strong and have learned from past mistakes to stand your guard. I've gone out on dates with other men over the course of the last two and a half months and have just not found anyone who's quite like my current man. I personally feel if I had a guy who isn't as "in control" of the situation as he is, I'd take advantage of him and become what most women become to their husbands and long-term boyfriends: they wear the pants. My past relationships have failed because I had that control and got agitated with the man not doing as I pleased sometimes. I don't have that power here because he has the control. If anything, this relationship is showing me the perspective from the opposite side and will correct me for the future.

People tend to forget that we're not really gonna post topics about the happy times or the good qualities of your man, but the stuff we have issues with and need advice on. Because obviously I wouldn't stick around if it was as shitty as it seems lol I have a backbone.
