In all honesty have the kind of relationship you would want for your daughter. If it wouldn't be good enough for her then why allow yourself to be in that situation. That's how I feel in all honesty.

Its automatic to think like that because we as mothers don't want daughters especially to end up with men that would treat them like crap so why do we put up with it? I go back and forth all the time with myself with the guy that I am with no he does not hit me no he does not call me out of my name no he does not disrespect me but sometimes I would like to be treated like I am special to him like I want him to be more affectionate i want to feel loved. And who ever my daughter is with i want her to hsve the same. What my problem is is that I don't speak up enough. But when I do the guy I am with does listen I just have to keep repeating myself LOL like every time I want to go out of date I have to bring it up. Then we finally go out... it will be nice if he wouldn't bring it up as well so I don't feel like I'm the only one that actually wants to have fun in this relationship otherwise it's just business pay bills take care of the kids go to work over and over and no actual relationship. But as long as your guy is trying to work it out then I will still work on it. Just dont forget to speak up for yourself like me.
