I've spent a lot of time being sad in the past years, and catering to my husband. I know now it's because I give too much of myself to whomever I am in a relationship with.. So much that I lose ME in the process. I am never the doormat girl, and I don't know how I become her when I "fall in love."

Some friends ask me what it's like to have someone

I am striving to achieve what you have achieved. Not necessarily that I want to be single, but as you say, in a "the wool is off of my eyes" sense.

I feel like so much of being in a relationship is compromise (which does have its value) but I've slowly found that I've lost something very vital to my happiness. I had a long conversation with my friends last night and we each discussed the ways in which we could reclaim that lost thing. I have come to the conclusion that it will start with the simple premise of honesty. Above all else being honest with myself.
