I’ve seen this before with people/women.

They have a very rough background, have self destructive behaviors, but are able to appear normal in certain settings.

A good thing comes along, and they’re happy for a short period, but then the old nagging “you’re not good enough” jumps back to the fore, and they unconsciously sabotage this good thing that has come along in their life.

You have to move on, pray for her, and put her in the “God box” to be taken care of.

A friend of mine is compiling a list of “get to know you” questions that he’s having his sons and daughters discuss with any future mate before they get emotionally committed. Sounds like a good strategy, in conjunction with group settings for meeting people.

Smart friend that you have there! My son has done the same with his 5.
got a couple of real winners in grand sons in law.

Mr B, thanks. I’m so glad you’ve seen this before. Your description so closely matches my experience: She was happy for a while. She did get a case of the “I’m not good enough’s”. She did sabotoge it, only not so subconsciously. It was more conscious.

I am moving on. I deserve better. I’m glad I knew her, for I did love her then, and she showed me that I truly am capable of love.

If you could post those questions please do...I and I’m sure others would appreciate seeing them.

I'd be interested in the list at some point

Perhaps your friend might be willing to disclose those questions from his work-in-progress?

I’d like to see what they are....
