I've been on my own for years to be a mum, I didn't trust my judgement with blokes after my divorce. I've walked away from a bad lad, he'd shout at shop assistants, waitresses but could be nice to me. There were loads of warning bells including negging big time. I'm not a kid far from it I have a 19 year old son and could hear warning bells clanging off all over the show. He'd make racist comments knowing I have a multiracial mix in my family.Knowing it would make me angry and that I'd challenge those awful views. I realise I can't change people only how I respond. So why do I feel lonely? I did post before but the feeling to pick up the phone to him is still there yet I know I'd end up in a relationship where I couldn't agree on the most important things. He wanted me depending on him, I could see it, I couldn't agree with his views I left. I guess I just need to hear other people say stay away and trust my instincts.
