Have you ever been the first man to treat a woman right in a relationship?

It's not always bad. Before marrying my wife, she had been in multiple bad relationships with those thuggish types. She even gave up and dated a mexican and a white guy. When I met her, she was riding solo and I was the complete opposite of what she was used to. College education, career oriented, church going (at the time) and a gentlemen. I knew how to treat a lady of her caliber. She been my ride or die since day 1.

It's not always bad. But some women do carry the hurt and baggage from failed relationships and it can be hard getting passed that barrier to her more vulnerable sides. But anything worth having, won't be easy.

Why is it a losing battle?

From what I’ve seen dealing with friends and coworkers that go from bad relationship to bad relationship;

1. Always a victim, never want to admit their part in their own suffering (choosing the same type of guy over and over, repeatedly going back to the same guy expecting something different etc)

2. Projecting, assuming all guys are the same/act like their exes. Trying to find matching behavior patterns with the new guy and your old ones to confirm your beliefs.

3. Addiction to drama/stress; after so many years of having drama filled relationships you can become addicted to the feeling like with drugs and someone treating you right isn’t going make it go away, you’ll just attempt to cause problems in that relationship.

You’ll be dealing with all this and the average person will have a difficult time unpacking all that relationship trauma and trying to override it with goodness.

Of course this doesn’t apply to all.
