What do you think?? Click here...

So, as you can see by the comments I posted to this topic (cheekie1969) , I have some of my own opinions, what are yours?
Leave them for me here, I would really love to see what you guys think.
Not that it will ever change my mind, but hey, I respect other's opinions, really I do....

Good Tuesday evening to you, Cheekie.

I think NML is brilliant, and everything she has to say makes serious sense on the topic.

The way she says things makes me see what I have done/the unconscious habits of a lifetime - and also shows me the b.s. games/manipulations/jerk-around ploys that these E.U.M.'s play, and how I cooperated in keeping them going.

So it lets me let go of my attachment to the guy - and also increase my own self-esteem/boundaries while being clear on my responsibility.

Nobody elese has EVER encapuslated the whole thing quite so well as NML does on her Baggage Reclaim blog; and I've probably read at least 200 self-help books on relationships, dating, self-help, personal power, blah blah, blah.

I agree completely, NML is brilliant!

What my point was with my comments on this topic was that sometimes we don't listen to our gut. We don't follow what our heart and minds tell us, and instead we allow a checklist or outside influences to make our decisions for us.

We have to get back to believing and trusting in ourselves, it's the only way to be happy in a relationship. And sometimes, definitely not in all cases, but sometimes, we don't allow for anything less than perfect and our expectations and betting on potential ruin what could be a very good chance at a relationship.

And I agree about those self help books, most are pure rubbish.
