Bad relationship Quote by S. Usher Evans
““She was afraid of being alone, but being in a bad relationship wasn't much better. The end of her relationship with Josh was rocky and unfulfilling; not the romantic love story she'd painted it out to be in her mind. Even before they broke up, she had fooled herself into thinking that Josh was someone different, that he was ready to commit when he was obviously and vocally against it. But she'd been too afraid to see the truth, too afraid to face the reality that as much as she loved him and as much as he loved her, they were not right for each other.””
