All of these tips are great and have been realized by many of you on the other side, but it was only after you crossed over to that understanding. I've known tons of women in bad relationships, feeling it was better to be in a bad one than not having one at all. It took many of them years.. YEARS to even know looking back, how bad it was. I mean all of this is just falling on deaf ears, although there is tons of value in it. Some people only learn the hard way and some never learn at all.
