Your partner should help you become the best person you can be, and you should do the same for him..... However, sometimes things don?t work out, and you can find yourself lost in your man?s identity, and his expectations of who you should be.?

It?s all roses at the beginning

When you first enter into a relationship you are confident about yourself, you know your values, your strengths and you know what you want in life.?

You know that you want to be treated like a queen, and you want to be treated with the utmost respect.?

The slow descent to anonymity?

Somewhere along the way you start to lose yourself slowly but surely. You lower your standards, you put his dreams and aspirations before your own.

It is no longer about ?us? but about him. You end up losing yourself in the relationship without even realizing it.?

You are no longer your own person, and even in public you are seen as his woman.

Time to take your power back

Realising the damage that the relationship has done is the first step to regaining your dignity and self-respect.?

In order for you to be truly happy in a relationship you need to take a deep look at yourself first. Listen to your instincts and trust in your strengths.?

Remember who you were

Take yourself back to that time and place when you knew what you wanted, you knew your values and were not willing to compromise them for anything or anyone.

As women we are built strong and are able to handle any obstacle that comes our way. It is time to be a bit selfish and to put your needs first for a change.

All is not lost?
