I have to respectfully disagree with the the logic here.

You are a doormat if you think you are a doormat.

YOU control that

no one else.

There is a journey to get there and you have to endure some pain to understand that you control this

BUT

In the end only you can allow someone to make you feel that way. Demanding she respect your dignity is making her responsible for it.

YOU are responsible for your own self dignity and self respect.

To place it in the hands of anyone else....

especially a scared, hurt woman

is to misplace it.

My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
