Is Your Relationship Stunting Your Emotional Growth?

You never go out:

Going out as a single girl felt like constantly being on the meat market. You had to prove yourself. You had to look good. You had to hold up your end of conversations. You had to be judged every time you stepped out. But now, you’re addicted to having someone who just thinks you’re perfect. And you don’t want to subject yourself to the judgment of others. But guess what? It’s healthy to deal with the ups and downs, the insecurities, the awkward and unpleasant bar conversations of your single youth. The backbone you grow out of that—that is a solid one. There is something to be said for being able to come home after every night out, and all those strange/offensive/pervy comments from random guys and being able to say “I love me because I love me” not because “he loves me.” The backbone you grow just because one guy is gaga about you isn’t quite the same. It’s a cop out.
