How will she survive?”“What if I break up with her and she’s mad at me?”“If the relationship fails, I fail.”“Maybe this is the best I’m ever going to get, and if I leave it, I’ll regret it.”“There’s a type of safety there, and not having to confront the fear of being alone.”“It’s really about not excluding oneself.”“If I don’t believe I’m worth it, I’m not going to ask for it.”“Other men are dangerous so the only safe place is your feminine partner.”“A relationship doesn’t have to last forever to be successful!”“I was living on scraps before, and I didn’t even realize it.”“This would have been impossible for me to do without my men’s group.”“As you let go into community, you can discover yourself in a totally different way.”
