Self Worth

According to the dictionary self worth is described as," respect for or favourable opinion of oneself".
I bring this this up because I was having lunch with a really good friend of mine and we were talking about the relationship between me and my husband. (We are currently separated) She said something like,"I think you allow it because you don't feel like there is someone else out there for you, you don't know what your are worth."  I hope that I am quoting her correctly.

Anyway it got me to thinking, do I value who I am as a person, do I know my self worth?  Those are two very good questions. My initial response to those questions is "I think so".  I should know, why don't I know.  But what determines a person's self worth?  I know that I don't deserve the way he treats me. He shows me no respect, to be honest he treats me as if we just met and not like we have known each other since we were 14.  There are so many questions I can ask myself, "why do I allow him to do this, what keeps me in this position, and why do I allow myself to continue to be hurt by him"  With that being said, his number goes on the call block list. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I pray that it stays there this time around. As for me calling him, if I get the urge to call or text I will just find someone else to call or pray for the strength to not call.

Hopefully by me cutting him off, I can begin to become the best that I can be, and learn my true self worth.  Aren't we all a work in progress?
