I feel I need to change my pattern if that’s the right way of putting it?! But I’m finding it hard because some of what I HAVE to tell future dates can, i think make them assume I’m vulnerable. I’ve actually been told by one ‘I like you’re vulnerable’..I’m not! They push things..I end it! It’s a sad vicious cycle making me feel like this is me and only i can change things by coming across differently but I don’t know how?

I don’t understand what you mean.

@Aprilx so for example i haven’t got any parents (I’m late 30’s) this is usually seen as a weakness..yet I can’t hide that fact can I! There’s other things and with them combined I find I get walked over (or as much as they think they can and I walk away)

Eh? A weakness to not be parents, since when? Incidentally I had lost both of mine by the time I was 38, never occurred to me that anyone would think differently of me and in fact I still don’t. So again, I don’t really understand what it is you are asking.

@Aprilx well this is what I’m trying to figure out. Sadly I do attract these men and I’m finding it hard because I feel it’s me!
