(2/2) “Find a man that loves you more than you love him.
I still remember the first time I had a boyfriend, I didn’t even tell him that I had a boyfriend, I just told him that I’m seeing someone. There was once that after my dad met my ex boyfriend, he straightaway said that it wouldn’t work out, because his character wouldn’t be able to handle mine. That time, I kept defending my ex by telling my dad that it’s unfair to judge through one coffee meeting but whatever he said about him turned out to be true in the end! Until now, I still have a hard time battling the inner fear of my dad’s reaction when telling him about someone new in my life and calming down my nerves before telling him. “
