NARRATIVE THERAPY
This story is about my first broken relationship with my ex boyfriend. I had my first relationship few days
before graduating college. And ever since before entering a relationship, I wanted my first love to be my last.
So I did everything for my ex boyfriend. I loved him whole heartedly. I sacrificed a lot for him. But it feels like,
our relationship became so hard to handle. It seemed like I was the only one who was doing my part for our
relationship to work. There were also times where I beg for his attention and time. But despite those red flags
I didn’t want to end our relationship. I still held on and still wanted our relationship to last. Things became
worse. I ended up knowing that he was cheating on me, but being a martyr girlfriend, I thought that I should
forgive him. I thought that it was all my fault why all those happened. I felt like I failed to gave him my love. So
I gave him another chance, but he did it again. With that, even if it was hard on my part, I ended our
relationship.

our relationship became so hard to handle. It seemed like I was the only one who was doing my part for our
relationship to work. There were also times where I beg for his attention and time and because of all these red
flags. I decided to end our relationship. I want my man to give the love I deserve. I don't want to settle for less
for I believe that my heart is precious. I need not to lower my standards because if a man truly loves me, he
will rise above those standards. Though, it may be hard on my part to end our relationship, I did it to save
myself from all the pain it causes me. I also think of my future with my children. They wouldn’t be happy if
they will witness that their father gives very minimal love for their mom.
