He does his own thing. He tells us he loves her and likes to run his hand on her head gently. 99% of the time, however, he's more interested in playing with his toys.
And guess what sucker, we are your friends too here at KMC
Things may seem shit right now but just put a foot forward, you may thing all these negative things about Katie but from the sounds of it she does love you
Nah, being single is alright once you realise that being in a relationship isn't a prerequisite for being happy. Love yourself before you love someone else and that.
Although that being said, most of my current unhappiness comes from the fact that I don't have a girlfriend to while away hours with and confide in. Having nobody in your life that you are indispensable to is somewhat soul crushing.
Learning to love yourself on your own is nigh impossible for some people. If nobody else loves you, how can you love yourself? It's impossible to see your own self-worth unless you see it reflected in someone else, thus learning to love yourself is easier with someone who loves you and can help you understand why you have value.
Yeah, but you don't only get that from a traditional romantic relationship. You can get that from your relationship with your family, friends, a mentor figure in school or the workplace etc.
A lot of people can, for me personally, I don't think I can. Could just be that my last relationship was so intense that it's kind of ****ed me for life in that respect.
