I was going to set boundaries..we are not in a relationship, so I’m not going to sleep in the same bed with you. Well, I gave in which I regretted..so here I am. I don’t like feeling weak and powerless
Oh, I know the feeling -- I've been there, and done that. You know what strengthens you and empowers you the most though? It's when you say to yourself "enough is enough of this crap", "I deserve FAR better", "I will NOT be made to feel like crap again, not ever" and to MEAN IT. Those words said to yourself, even if you have to repeat it every day, several times a day, will strengthen you and empower you to NOT accept anything less than what you truly deserve -- which is RESPECT, CARING, TRUE LOVE, EMOTIONAL STABILITY, and KINDNESS -- and if you're not getting that? Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away.

Trust me. I've been in your shoes many times over. This works. And it rebuilds your self esteem!!!
