At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye.

My maternal desires are fully satisfied with my dogs.

I have always seen cold and controlled men as the right ones for me.

At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye.

I'm looking for men who can give me security.

In the past I would self destruct when it came to love - I was immature, throwing myself into things but now times have changed, I want a relationship where you understand the other person.
