Staying in a relationship

Have you ever stayed in a relationship longer then you should have? I wouldn’t believe half the people who said no. I think my problem is I am a Libra and if you know any Libra’s you know they try and make everything work, everyone get along and everyone happy. The problem with being wired this way is you end up attracting people who need to be taken care of, nurtured and mothered. And lets face it no women wants to mother her boyfriend... that doesn’t make us feel sexy... no it makes us think why can’t we date someone who is more of a man. I need to focus on me, not everyone else, I need to make me work, me be the best I can be. I was driving in the car today and I remembered something Sarah said to me a while back... she said “Noelene, stop volunteering, this is ridicules how can you do this for these people when you are barley getting by yourself?” I took it to heart and she was right, I was volunteering for stuff thinking I could help, but I couldn’t because I first needed to help myself. I think that saying rings true in many things, you can’t help others until you can help yourself, and you can’t love others until you love yourself!! So where does this leave me ... unhappy. Needing to take action?
