When you love another person you don't ask them to sacrifice a part of themselves in the name of that love. Love and Pride is very easy to confuse lust for love. The true measure of romantic love is commitment and trust not physical attraction. Don't beat yourself up emotionally if you find yourself in this unhappy situation. But be sure to remain single and be open and honest with all parties about your feelings and confusion. Love and Pride should make you feel happy, secure and appreciated.
