Learning the ropes 2

[Kind18]

I need a partner who's the same.

Wrong!

❌❌❌

I’ve fixed this for you, try these:

I don’t NEED a partner.

No-one else is responsible for my happiness except me.

I deserve (but don’t need) an equal relationship, where someone loves and values me as much as I them.

I am the prize here.

Your narrative controls your behaviour. Choose your words carefully.

In the same way that a wayward is incredibly unhealthy by needing the love and affection and thrill of their AP, a LBS is also unhealthy by needing their spouse and marriage to feel fulfilled.
