Why is it that I always want people I cannot have??? Whether it be married men, a boss, my therapist, and so on.... I tend to always find myself wanting these types of men....any advice....

Everybody wants what they can't have - it's just the way it is.

Maybe, don't focus so much on the things you perceive that you can't have and concentrate on what you have already.

Not much help huh....
Thanks for this!

I've been there and still find myself "there".. I do believe it is the challenge and if you're like me you would most likely toss them to the side if you should achieve this "goal"... it IS a game and it's lose lose for everyone involved...

When you find yourself wanting a man that's untouchable remind yourself that YOU will be the one to hurt the most.. we are very emotional people...
