Hey y’all! I’m listening to the show. It is my innate nature to take care of others. I used to get lost in whoever I was dating but never held myself back or passed up on a golden opportunity for a dude. However, I have given too much too soon and didn’t make sure they were worth it. So I’m not without flaw in that department.
I see nothing wrong helping out a boyfriend or anyone a time or two and totally agree with you all that as long as it’s not a habit it’s okay. And yes when I used to do too much it was for the wrong person and it was with motive. I often felt let down and disappointed when it was not reciprocated. Nowadays if I do something for anyone, male/female, I expect absolutely nothing in return from them because I know God will reward my generosity.

You make a great point Ariel.
I believe one of the biggest mistakes that’s made is giving too much too soon.
It can be difficult to hold back and pace ourselves, especially when we are really starting to like someone a lot.
It’s truly a blessing that you’ve grown and matured so much. I believe that’s a required process that many of us must go through.
I’m curious, what were your motives for doing the things you were doing?

I just wanted to be loved and wanted their loyalty that’s all. It was never anything sinister like, “If I do ABC then he will owe me and will have to XYZ when I need him to.”
I hope I explained clearly. It’s kinda hard to put into words exactly what my thoughts were for being so “nice”.

That totally makes sense. I appreciate you taking the time out to answer my question. Thank you!

I completely understand what you mean. Sometimes, as women, we feel we have to “earn” a man’s love, attention, and affection. Or, we may feel as though a man will not stay with us and reciprocate that loyalty if we don’t go above and beyond for him.
Unfortunately, these insecurities can be very difficult to overcome so you’ve done a world of work to get to where you are now. I really appreciate you opening up and sharing your perspective and experience. I’m so glad you enjoyed this show!!
