Dear Mona:

You are welcome and thank you for your kind words!

I agree with your mother, that you should not sell yourself short in relationships. And that is what happened with this  man, you sold yourself short. I don’t know why you did that, but many of us sell ourselves short- allowing others to treat us as if we are worth-less.

In the future, expect and require a man to treat you as the valuable person that you are; not demanding what is unrealistic, not asking the man to harm himself so to accommodate you, but asking for what will benefit both parties. So that each party to the partnership of two is giving and taking/ compromising for the common good, making the relationship overall a Win-Win situation, no one loses.

How is the coronavirus in India (you are still living and working there, correct?)

– I will soon be away from the computer for a while.
