I think the hardest part of this is...no matter how hard I try, I always end up HERE. In an unbalanced deep emotional exchange with someone. Where the other person expresses deep feelings...and I've got nothing to say back.

I do try to warn others. When H and I first started dating told him...I need my space and freedom.I remember one time saying that I was like my cat. She'll come sit on your lap and accept your attention, but then turn and bite you for no reason. I also said repeately, I'm no Martha Strewart so don't expect a clean, knick-knack fill house. I'm just a B****. But he didn't listen and how he is hurt.

At the moment I can't think of a single relationship that I've had that didn't involve this type of unbalanced exchange. I guess I just don't get why people allow themselves to get so attached to someone me? Even after I repeately warn them---I BITE!
