WOW! I am so glad you posted this. It just hit me that the LTR I just got out of robbed me of so much of who I was because I tried to make something work with a girl who had so many issues that I was obsessed with fixing her. It took me to the bottom of the barrel.

I always thought I was simply fighting for the one I love (which i did), and I didnt want it to end until I knew I gave it my all! She didnt reciprocate that, but I kept thinking I should just have faith. I thought it was just the internal optimist in me, but this just made so much sense!
