This advice was passed along to me from acounselor; it was great to hear so I wanted toshare it.If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you fromheartache.Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationshipthat’s not meant to be.Slower is better.Never live your life for a man before you find whatmakes you truly happy.If a relationship ends because the man was nottreating you as you deservethen heck no, you can’t "be friends."A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend.Don’t settle. If you feel like he is stringing youalong, then he probably is.Don’t stay because you think "it will get better."You’ll be mad at yourselfa year later for staying when things are not better.The only person you can control in a relationshipis you.Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by abunch of different women.He didn’t marry them when he got them pregnant,Why would he treat you any differently?Always have your own set of friends separate fromhis.Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.If something bothers you, speak up.Never let a man know everything. He will use itagainst you later.You cannot change a man’s behavior. Changecomes from within.Don’t EVER make him feel he is more importantthan you are... even if he hasmore education or in a better job. Do not makehim into a quasi-god.He is a man, nothing more nothing less.Never let a man define who you are.Never borrow someone else’s man.Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he’ll cheat onyou.A man will only treat you the way you allow him totreat you.All men are not dogs.You should not be the one doing all thebending...compromise is a two-way street.You need time to heal betweenrelationships..
