My favorite quotes... Well said and explained, I wish I had read this sooner! Hope you don't mind if I quote you in my next post!
Learning to love yourself makes you a better partner. You are less likely to be jealous, insecure, constantly needing of validation. Not because you can't live without them but because living with them enriches your life. The "I can't live without you" Romeo & Juliet type romance is for teens and if it carries into adulthood it's just unhealthy. You should be fully capable of being your own person.
