I have NEVER been into the 'bad boy'. However, as the fixer, I have been drawn to the 'hurt/wounded boy'. My first boyfriend (OK i have only had two, him and H! )--anyway boyfriend #1 was a weightlifter, football player, etc etc but that was all to make up for his insecurity inside. He was soft spoken/shy, but smart. His step-dad abused his mom and he would defend her and get hurt himself. They had very little money and he only had a few friends. He also had a terrible temper and would punch things/break things when his stepdad punished him by not allowing him to call me, see me, etc...
I thought he was such a great guy, and in a lot of ways he was, but I couldn't save him from his life. I don't know how I ever thought I could...
Anyway I don't do "bad" and I will try to avoid "wounded" in the future, too...
BTW he wound up with kids from a lady he didn't marry and now he lives in our hometown again, just like me! Who knew...
