“Not surprisingly, my self-esteem has taken a hit. Even though I wanted something better for myself, I considered giving him another chance because I loved him and was just too scared of being alone,” she continued.
“It took me a long time to come to the sobering realization that I was the common denominator of my shitty dating decisions.
“Learning about attachment styles allowed me to look back on my childhood and my relationship with my parents to help me unpack a lot of the junk I was carrying around,” she added.
