This is why you never surrender your independence. I chose to be and share my life with someone without being dependent, so when you or they decide to walk different paths, I never miss a step.
While I will remain loyal and faithful with my man, I will never surrender my friendships with any person male or female, for anyones heart. Many men do not understand this, and it is usually a measurement of their character and manhood to be able to control their own insecurities when I am out and about with my friends.
So it is easy for me to say "next" even with a hurting heart.
