Dear Jill:

“I grew up in a very religious homes school household where social interactions was deliberately kept to a minimum and dating was prohibited”. At 26 you met and have been with your “first and only boyfriend”.

You were used to such social isolation and loneliness at home, that what you did receive from Mike, the little that he gives you, is better than what you had before.

You don’t know how it feels to have more than what you have now because you didn’t have that experience yet. If you did, you wouldn’t consider living with the little you get from Mike.

Question is, how will you ever know how more feels like, if you stay with less?
