Quote from morganist:
I don't know if I am alone in this one. But i thought I better say it.
If you really care about a woman and they treat you and other people like shit do you feel ashamed of loving them.
I don't think you can help those feelings. So you are trapped, you can't stop feeling the way you do and ending the relationship is too painful. But their behaviour is so bad that you are disgusted in the way you feel.
Love is weird too. You can feel love for some random person and you can't stop it. You could get the most terrible person ever and there is nothing you can do. You could be completely out of their league and they could be as ugly and horrible as hell. But you can't stop the way you feel.
You are trapped in the worse possible situation and there is nothing you can do about it. It isn't even the financial or social consequences (that seem to be the only thing that women worry about) it is simply the emotion you feel for them. You can do nothing about it.
The worst prison ever.
