<human>: Also planning on talking about this in r/divorce, but since I'm so much younger than a lot of divorcees, I figured I should post here too.

So, my husband and I were together since our senior prom in 2010. Before that, I was always in some kind of a relationship in high school and if I wasn't I was pretty much acting like I was. In eighth grade, I wouldn't even let myself *crush* on two people at once because I felt like that was infidelity. ಠ_ಠ

I wanted to leave my husband in the first place because I felt like he was really boxing me in and not letting me be myself, but now that I'm 'single', I see myself falling into the same patterns I used to where I'm seeking out some not-so-perfect guy to validate my feelings and give my life purpose. 

I'm really depressed, and I'm lonely without someone to make me feel desirable and intelligent and worth being with, because that's all I really want to be: I just want to be somebody's world. Does anyone have tips on how I can disengage myself from this whole I-need-a-man mentality that I'm in? I'm worried that it's not going to help me in fighting my depression or creating a good life for myself out here on my own.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Been in and out of relationships for my entire young life, how do I break the cycle of running back to somebody for security?
