I failed to stand up for myself in my relationship

This was several years ago, but this failure has really stuck with me and has even continued into my current relationship. My failures in my last relationship have given me these anxieties of not being good enough and just lacking self-esteem as a partner. I have definitely improved, but it’s been a long battle, and I am still learning more about myself every day.

I have never been a fan of online dating but my busy schedules and screaming loneliness made me seek my fortune on one of the most popular “love” websites. I can’t tell that I regret my decision as I learned a lot of things about men and their personalities. Most importantly, I unexpectedly met my soul mate on that website. When I wrote “soul mate,” I actually mean it. Although we both failed to build a long-term relationship, he and I still believe we are destined to be together. How it all started We live about 66 miles away from…
