“Perhaps I am holding you back,” she said finally. And then after a little while, in a small voice: “Perhaps you are holding me back too. "Because that’s what people do when they’re in love as hell but they’re not compatible,” she said, “they hold each other back.”

Is a boyfriend too much to ask for? No boys seem to like me :(

There is this odd trend of taken women saying they are too much, and how the men they love are amazing for dealing with them. Love should not be a responsibility. You should not have to deal with me. Just because a woman is wild and free does not mean she is difficult. He is not a martyr for loving me through the good and not so good. Some mornings I will wake up swinging, you do not get a gold star for still loving me. Some mornings I will wake up like a lamb, you do not get a gold star for loving me. I am not a hurricane of a girl, you always have the chance to leave.

That’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.

If you get that gut feeling that something isn’t right about a person or situation, trust it.
