I deserve better –such a dangerous, mad thought for a woman to entertain.

Meredith Duran
About This Quote

In the words of Irish author Flann O’Brien, “I deserve better – such a dangerous, mad thought for a woman to entertain.” Often, women will say this to themselves when they have been hurt or betrayed by a man. They may have been the first one to open up and share their feelings with a guy, only to be dumped out of nowhere. They might have been spending a lot of time with a guy who is treating them badly, but they feel as if they still have something to offer him. However, what they really mean is that they deserve something better than what he is offering them. In some ways, it’s as if they are telling themselves that they deserve someone else.
