I like you do that as well. But a few years back I noticed that most of my relationships, whether they where friendships or dating/married relationship they where using me because I was way to "nice" so to speak.

So I went and started to really look at everyone around me. To really find out who my true friends were and who wasn't. Trust me, I found out the hard way. As far as my dating/married relationship went they were just using me for one thing or another. Now I am re-married and the relationship is so different. I am caring, but at the same time I get a caring shoulder as well when I need it. I ended up setting boundaries but at the same time not actually losing myself in the "caring" to much part of me. I hope that makes sense.
