Becoming a better man
Looking back now, I admit that I was
immature, but I was too proud to see it.
The arguments were too much and I
preferred spending more time with my
friends getting up to no good. Due to
my careless behaviour, I was arrested and
served 15 months in prison.
While behind bars, I had so much time to
think and reflect on life. It was in that prison
cell that I decided to get act together and
be the partner I needed to be for Natalie.
I was young and quite immature, but in my
mind I thought I was ‘the man’. At that time
I was dating my girlfriend Natalie, but our
relationship wasn’t going too well.
We argued about everything, but all
Natalie wanted from me was to give her
attention and spend time with her. I was
too busy having fun with my friends.
This put major stress on our relationship,
and since we lived far away from each
other, it only made matters worse.

Through the help of the Love Therapy
meetings, I began to understand where I
was going wrong in my relationship and
how I could become a better man for
Natalie. I had to grow up and become a
man and take responsibilities. When I did
that everything changed.
Natalie and I are now happily married with
a lovely family.

10. If the Internet leads you astray, kick

Internet.
