I reckon that's one of the reasons he isn't my husband anymore. And because of that, I've sworn off relationships. And dating. I spent years with someone who wanted to change me. Who did change me. Only an insane person would want that again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut then I meet him. The famous Holt Hill. Whom I didn't even know was famous.
