What IS a Sticky Girl?




What is a Sticky Girl?

Sticky Girl  n. a female with a pattern of attaching herself to partners who may not have her best interests at heart

A Sticky Girl  feels that she cannot unstick from certain partners, even when she realizes that the relationship is dysfunctional. Sticky Girls do not always experience physical abuse, but many do.  Most do report emotional and mental abuse. A Sticky Girl often feels obsessive or out of control in the relationship, which causes her to act in an irrational manner. Despite periods of calm, there is much conflict, drama, and agitation in her intimate relationships.

Why would a woman stick to a man?
Relying on a partner for emotional, spiritual, or financial support is not new. It has served its purpose since the beginning of mankind. Some people feel more comfortable in the role of giver, while others  feel more comfortable in the role of receiver. It is when the balance in the relationship tips and one party is demeaned, abused, or mistreated that the relationship needs intervention.

Despite the great strides women have made throughout history, many women still stick to a partner. to the point that they do not truly live their own lives, and put their partner first. There are many root causes for this behavior: These include:

Low self-esteem
Childhood trauma
Poor role models
Chemical or alcohol abuse
Destructive behaviors that skew judgement
Poor relationship skills
Emotional immaturity
Unresolved childhood issues

The author of Sticky Girls-Why Women Stay In Bad Relationships, May Woodworth, believes that the process of unsticking from toxic partners starts and ends with the Sticky Girl herself.

"By taking control of her own behavior, the Sticky Girl gains control of her entire life. Blaming partners does nothing to change her situation. Partners come and go. She has only herself when  all is said and done.She needs to discover why she does what she doe, and learn from past partners, in order to make better choices in the future," May Woodworth

The first volume of the Sticky Girl series delves into why a women feels the need to stick so tightly;

The second volume explores the steps one can take to unstick from negative behavior patterns and partners.

The third volume embraces the concept of becoming a Free Woman (as opposed to Sticky Girl).

Toxic Partners: You picked 'em.

Yeah, yeah, I know; it is so much easier to call him a S>O>B> and list the wrongs he has done you. So much easier to blame him for the misery you're in. Truth is, you picked him.

I don't say that in a mean way. I say it in a rational way. If you realize that you did indeed have a choice whether to have a relationship or not with him, the more power you have in future choices.

Look back when you met: you couldn't help falling in love with him. He was so, so, so amazing. So, I don't know, different. He got your juices flowing, motor revving, and every part of you tingly.

Mother Nature rocks it in the hormones department so it's no wonder we become chemically attracted to someone. But when the chemicals ebb, and your brain begins thinking again, you can look at that special someone rationally.

A person who creates the greatest chemical reaction may not be the best partner long term. Really look at him. Go over your must have list .Is he trustworthy? Is he your friend? Are you covering up things about him ( or bad habits such as drugs or drinking) to friends and family? Is he extremely involved with children or family members that could potentially make your life miserable? Do you accept him as is, as in..you are not looking to change him? Does he treat you with respect?

We may get swept away in the beginning stages of love. Enjoy it. Rock it. Feel it. But if red flags start popping up, resist the rose colored glasses. You DO have a choice in partners. remember , you can be attracted to someone and not get into a relationship with them.

If you ignore the red flags and things go sour, it's your decision whether to continue or not. You Do have the power. Also, there is NO age or time frame when we should know better.

We all learn at our own pace. At different ages. Make your mistakes. Learn your lessons. Listen to women who give good advice,, even if you are not ready to follow their advice.. Someday, when you are ready, you will make the right choices. Many of us kiss a lot of toads (or fish) before we invest our love and time in a worthwhile partner. The key is to not beat yourself up in the process.

Peace, May

Is This Abuse? #datingabuse








Dating abuse is a pattern of destructive behaviors used to exert power and control over a dating partner. While we define dating violence as a pattern, that doesn't mean the first instance of abuse is not dating violence. It just recognizes that dating violence usually involves a series of abusive behaviors over a course of time.
