I agree that fear of being alone keeps many women in relationships mistaken as love that are toxic for all parties. In my experience men do not do this; we are not afraid to be alone, we don't like it as a lifestyle, but we don't confuse love with fear. Men often require alone time to think and sort our thoughts (and yes, feelings). Please tell me you are not so naive @ 28 that you truely believe there are no good or bad people.!.?. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt there are indeed truely bad/evil people in this world. If you believe in universal balance that means there also have to be good people too. Yes this is an era of opportunity (if you are born in the right class). However we are under the control of the powers that be: the multi billion dollar corporations, the corrupt governments, the rich simply put. Think me cynical or jaded or whatever, but please think!
