Six ways to NOT lose yourself in a relationship

Have you ever walked into a relationship as yourself and walked out of it as someone else? Relationships always have a major way of changing people. Looking back, my past relationships changed me a lot. Some, actually most of them left me bitter, lost, heartbroken, in tears and to top it all, my esteem was brought down to nothing.

Surprisingly, I never gave up on the search. Thinking of it, I must say it took God's grace for me not to hate men. On the other hand, I always believe that everything happens for a reason. If I had not gone through all that, in all likelihood, I would not have a story to tell and a lesson to teach.
