I hear you, it is the same for me. My friend always tells me I'm too nice, I'm too kind, I'm too understanding. I make excuses for everyone who treats me badly, and I love and care for them regardless.
I lost the love of my life and now I feel naked, exposed and even more vulnerable than before, I am not safe, I am not protected anymore. No one cares or loves me anymore, I feel all alone. I linger because I hope he comes back, but it's 11 weeks now.. Why would he come back now? If he loved me, he wouldn't have left in the first place, right? Right?
