Finding the voice

Ugh. Nnnggh.

BAD.

I was in a relationship with someone who tried to 'better me'. He gave advice on how to dress, where to go, where to shop, and his opinions were always 'right'. He liked bigger guys, and was all the time taking me out to eat, or buying food or snacks for me. I liked it because it was attention and free food, and what fat kid doesn't like people handing him cake? But I didn't 'want' to be overweight, and he wasn't helping that.
Really, wht he was trying to do was make me into a less abusive version of his last boyfriend because he wanted out of that relationship, didn't want to be in a 'relationship' with me, but didn't want to be alone.

I was changed. We all get changed by relationships. If we're not, then you're not really in a relationship. At least I can look back on it and see that I'm not that person anymore.
I'm better off for it, in all honesty. I mean, you can't be happy about where you are unless you know where you've been.
