I always thought of H as the bright little star I had managed to catch, and was desperately trying to stop if wander away all the time. Still worrying about offending him, still want him to like me.
Maybe you like a challenge, maybe you wanted him so much because you never really "had" him, but the truth is, a woman of your strength and caliber is the bright star that I see in this relationship, not your H. Someday, someone will be really lucky and happy to find & catch you, you just have to believe that you are worth that.
It is in the shelter of each other that people live.--Irish proverb
