I got to admit, that ...

maybe you can ease in the idea of giving in to your partner, letting go of yourself. imagine yourself in his shoes, something like that. you are not a failure, its just that maybe you are afraid of letting go or losing grip that you tend to control, people can still change you know, stop comparing yourself to your mom, you are a different person, yur choices define who you are. you wouldn't have a boyfriend if he never saw anything fascinating about you. sometimes it also takes too long to be able to find someone that balances who you are. i had problems myself, i was paranoid and rebelious through all my relationships, for years it had an expiry date of 1-3mos. and i was okay with that, my parents were separated and yeah, my father cheated and run off with my moms bestfriend, but hey it took me a stubborn man before i realized that relationships are different because the two individuals in it were different. so don't lose hope. ;p

As far as I see, I did not consider my parents 's marriage is the best one.By opposite, I thought the best way for them was to divorce.But, as I grow up, I find they are happy to be together.The facts are not as bad as I image.I understand that don't always believe on your eyes. If although there may be problems in your prents' marriage, it not your fault and it not means you will make the same mistake.I think, you should talk with your boyfriend about your problems.You must trust yourself and try your best for it.Come on, baby.

thankfully my mother taught me never to be jealous,always give 110%, always put your spouse first, and most importantly always tell the truth and talk about everything she told me that way if you know you love that person then everything is golden..her way of thinking was if you have to fight and argue and mistrust the person you love then why are you with them.. to her and to me doesnt sound like the type of life i want to live i want to be happy and know the one i love will be there for me always.. good luck hun i hope you can change your way of thinking before he decides he wants to leave... the highway is a pretty lonely place when your out there all alone... make some compromises... they dont hurt they just take some time getting use to.. follow the golden rule.. do onto others as you would have them do onto you.. its the best one you will ever follow.... good luck again

Mostly, from my parents I learned how 'not' to do things. They argued about money constantly, and tended to snap at each other over the least necessary instances. It was like two bulls locking horns constantly. They genuinely did love each other, but finances got in the way. I suppose it is what eventually made me take a 'money will come when I need to use it' sort of stance towards life. I can be broke for weeks at a time and be happy.
