Sometimes I feel like I just want someone to look after me and make me feel safe. Is it normal to want to be taken care of in a relationship, or is that too old-fashioned these days?
Honey, it’s normal to want a partner, not a savior. Relying on a man to “take care of you” is a quick way to lose yourself, and believe me, you need to be able to take care of yourself first. I learned that lesson the hard way.
