Oh GOD! I feel in love with the wrong man
THE BEGINNING
My name is Becky Sitica. I have spent the last six years of my life in a not so nice relationship. There is so much back and forward. I act like I am tired, but I keep going back. Boy, if the statement 'love hurts' isn't true, I don't know what is. I am in love with, what I will learn later, the wrong man. He is beautiful, tall, dark, and muscular. He just makes my stomach flip-flop. He is amazingly smart and talented. He is going to be a powerful man one day. His name is Simon Pepi. I met him in college.
I am a full-figured woman that is self-assured, confident, and proud. These are all of the things that attracted Simon to me, I believe. We can talk about anything. Whether we are in a heated debate about a presidential election, a new enacted law, or American Idol; we always had stimulating conversations. This was my first attraction.

ACTING FUNNY
Why don't you love me enough? Why can't we be together; why can't we make this work out? Why can't you just love me, I would plead over and over again. I was trying to figure out what was going on with Simon. Simon would become extremely distant when he was about to make a grand exit. At least, this has been his MO for the past on-and-off three years. I know. I know. I should leave. That's what my family and friends think. However, he hypnotizes me. That big, wide, beautiful smile and dark skin captures me, every time he wants to come back. What Simon doesn't see is that he is ripping my heart out. I can't keep living like this. What am I going to do; how am I going to
