Women NEED to see this. It's OKAY to be alone, and it important to pay attention to those red flags.
So impressed by you! I heard him make the “you’re so gay” comment when you were being friendly and I was sad for you. I’m sure he was just teasing you, but it just felt like he was poking fun at your personality. So happy you recognized that this wasn’t the relationship for you and didn’t settle. 💕
I'm glad you had the open heart to give it a chance and relieved to hear you had the wisdom to leave. I grew up in an alcoholic-induced violent atmosphere and so I steer clear of alcoholics and violence. Happy you're in the sunshine and in your beautiful little home. 💖💖💖🙏
Danna I am so relieved for you. I was truly concerned for your safety. Just something in my gut. Probably because I’ve made so many bad choices in my life I can see things. 🙏🏻 so glad you are safe and sending you so much love and support. And don’t be embarrassed! Sis I married someone on a whim in Vegas and knew it was a huge mistake and it took months to undo it. So you trust your gut. Your community loves you.
I would get one of those cheap pieces of land in Iron County, Utah (within driving distance of St. George), southern Colorado, New Mexico or Arizona and put a cheap cabin on it. You can buy an acre of land for what one month's apartment rent would cost you in a city. With your newly-acquired building skills you might be able to build yourself a cabin.
Your gut will never steer you wrong. I'm so glad you trusted your gut. ❤️ I'm so glad you're safe.
You didn't make a mistake leaving. You are making yourself a priority.
The cycle is Idealize. Devalue. Discard.
You're not too this or to that. It's because you are such a light, darkness tries to dim you. But Not Today.🤗
Sunny St. George!! Hi Dana! I first saw you on Skyler’s vlog, I have followed five two love since the beginning and can I just say WOW?!? Imagine that Skyler has a temper Geesh! So glad you got out girl!!! Well, you now have a new follower! I can’t wait to see what you’re all about! Stay strong and stay true!!
This is a video about someone I dated before Skyler. Thank you so much for the well wishes. I appreciate the support.💖💖
You made the right call. Sending you Lots of love ❤
So glad you left❤. Proud of you for paying attention to those red flags . So glad you chose YOU. Love ❤and prayers for you 🙏
What a sweet comment, thank you Rachael 💖💖
Very Proud Of You… !! Do not be embarrassed for one moment…!! You know what you did was right by leaving… As hard as it was you know it was right…. 😊
Fists go from boxes, to personal belongings, to your body. Always go with your gut, instincts for survival. You have a good reason to be pleased with the strength and growth you are experiencing.
It certainly can! Thank you for the love I appreciate it 💛💖💜
Good for You. Its hard to learn that ..congratulations on you and Skylar
Sunny St. George! Right where you belong…for now. A safe, familiar place, where you have friends. Stay for a bit, rest and feel whole again. Heartbreak is the worst feeling ever. You continue to amaze me with your strength and your confidence to make the right decisions in hard times. Don’t regret trying…it’s OK and it felt right at the time. Every experience is a learning situation. It wasn’t meant to be and you know that now. We all care about you…we are your community. How can we help? Just tell us. And how can you get a sponsorship from Jackery!! Love you Danna! Sending you a big hug.
You go girl! I'm so proud of you for standing up for you! You are more amazing than you even know! Cheers to SUNNY ST. GEORGE!
Hugs! I just left sunny St George a couple weeks ago. If you ever need a place to charge up, my van has plenty of plug ins to draw from 😊
Sunny St George....you did the right thing. Always put yourself first, never second to anyone. You are incredibly strong woman with a beautiful soul. I am sending positive energy your way. Things will be better, you deserve that. Take care and be safe.
Sunny Saint George and to thou ownself be true glad your safe and thank you for being you 😊
So sorry Danna, but choosing you is a BIG YES!!:) You did the right thing 100%. It must have been very disorienting to have him freak out after moving everything in. Sometimes people come in to just realign us on our true path. No shame ❤️❤️❤️❤️ keep living life fully :) Leo leads with the heart, we will always choose love. ❤️🦁 you totally handled it. :)
You definitely have your head on straight! You did good. Glad you left. Don't feel like an idiot! Happy you are well!
Danna you are so inspirational !!! Literally love watching and just learning from you! Never be embarrassed and like everyone else said thank you SO much for being so vulnerable!! So many girls can learn from you including me :) Like damn girl you are so mentally strong!!! You inspire me to stay positive and keep going.
You did the right thing!! What a piece of.. So proud of you!!! Some men are children!!
Been there ! Proud of you 🎉
Sunny St. George. I hope things work out for you.
So proud of you!! YESS I choose me too!!
Red flags need to be listened to. If a woman does not feel safe they need to get out, quick. Good for you listening to yourself and what you need as a person.
Girl if i had half sense YOU DO..I WOULDN'T GET IN SITUATIONS..THAT I HAVE PUT MYSELF INTO....IM LEARNING AS I GET OLDERRRR THAT..SELF CARE...AND TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN NEEDS COME FIRST...
DANA YOU DID RIGHT..
Glad you followed your gut. Definitely scary behavior. Better to be alone than be in an abusive relationship.
Well that was quick, though living together for even a short time tells you a lot about someone. I think in that space either you grow together or you start seeing red flags that make you go umm, I have seen this, and i don't want this for me. Older we get i think we see it quicker than we do when we are younger and more prone to put up with things. lol Looks nice and sunny in Utah, that is always good for smiling about.
This makeup! These lashes ❤❤❤
She came to party hehe 🥰✨
💛
👏👏👏. He probably has anger issues and he did something called love bombed you. Saying all the perfect things. Then when he has you he goes to his real self😬. Good for you. He probably needs therapy before he gets into a relationship 🤷🏼♀️
Hey Danna you made the right decision. Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of Frogs before you meet a Prince. You got this kiddo.
sunny St. George
Bravo !!! 👏 it would have 💯 got worse!
Yes Woman, Never walk on egg shells for any man! It took awhile but I finally found a wonderful man/partner 😊
SUNNY SAINT GEOOOOOORGE
Thank you 🥰✨💖
Wow! Danna!!! Don't be embarrassed. And thank you for being so vulnerable. I think it's safe to say you took risk that most people wouldn't take. You probably wouldn't have made that choice at another time in your life. But HOLY CRAP! You potentially saved yourself from much bigger heartache, and invested so much time in something that was not meant to be. Basically you found out in 4 days, when it might have been months and months before you saw those red flags. So proud of you girl! I'm also positive that by you sharing this experience could help other women see similar red flags. Punching things over something slightly frustrating is not normal. Good call.
So glad you stuck to your intuition ✨️ every transition leads you in a new purposeful direction you made a choice that you instantly chose your happiness, your safety and that atomically leads you into a better direction. Love watching your videos ! Keep living your truth ❤️
Oh Danna, I am so sorry this happened.....What you explained is a narcissist.....so glad the red flags hit quickly even though it hurts....ALWAYS follow your gut instincts when it comes to being safe........So proud of you!!!!!!!!!! A man who really loves and respects you will always travel to you, not you to him.....Time heals, and You will re-group and get your life back on track. So glad you are where you feel safe and comfortable. Praying for you....Be Blessed!
Wow. The strength it takes to walk away is something you should be really proud of yourself for.
I think you did the right thing. Obviously the universe has a different plan for you xx
On the other video when he said, “You’re so gay” because you were being friendly with the neighbors was very telling for me. It showed his immaturity. I’m so glad you bounced. I believe you’ll find the right man for you
Ugh, yeah, that super bothered me too. So sad Danna had this experience and glad she got out ❤
You did the ABSOLUTE right 👍 thing, Danna... if he showed you that kind of aggression in such a short time I believe he would have shown you worse and worse aggressions in the weeks/months to come.
Protect yourself. Heal your heart ❤️ and trust God to bring a good, gentle, loving, funny man 👨🏼 into your life at the appropriate time.
My heart 💜 hurts for you but it also has hope for you.
I will be in prayer 🙏 for you and for that special man 👨🏼 to come to you in due time! 🌹💕
GOOD FOR YOU!!! And no reason for shame. You learned a HUGE lesson and you acted in your best interest. Great job! And of course, I love (and miss) Utah!
Proud of you… not just for leaving when you saw red flags and felt uncomfortable, but for being open about your experience… it’s got to be extra tough being ion social media and sharing your life so openly… glad you’re back in your Happy Place…. ❤
Im so proud of you!! My x did almost the exact thing. I wish I wouldve listen to the red flags. Much abuse and a restraining order....12 years later Im still in therapy. You did GREAT !
I hope you learn about narcissists and love bombing so you can protect yourself in the future! Glad you got out early but don't be surprised if he tries to get back together etc. Please don't believe him!
I’m so proud of you so incredibly impressed with your strength to leave. My mom stayed too long with my abusive dad and I struggle with the aftermath. Your so beautiful and so lovely and I’m so happy you’re safe ❤😘and don’t be embarrassed at all. 😘😘😘
Lol I learned this at 23 I literally moved in with someone and moved out without them even knowing ahead of time 2 months after .. chose you first don’t let any questionable behaviour slide .. at all.
Danna, somehow I missed this video a year ago. I was very moved by this video - you are a strong, intelligent woman and I am so glad that you listened to your gut. One year later and look what a beautiful relationship you have now - one you deserve. In the moment it always seems like things may never work out for us and the wind is knocked out of us, but if you stay true to who you are and do what is right for you, things do/will get better. I'm so happy that your journey is looking so positive and joyful for you now. Best to you!
Sunny St. George! Oh sweet Danna! I want to give you big hug and a high five at the same time. I've followed you for years, back to the LA days when you were on your vegan journey all they way to now. I know we only see a snapshot of your life but from what I see, you have grown sooooooooo much in the time I first started watching you. So very proud of you paying attention the red flags but also sharing your concerns and trying to carefully present the situation with the guy in Denver. You presented it with humility and grace (i.e. you aren't perfect and need to work on yourself- PS we all need to do that all the time!!). My favorite statement you made was that you want to be a whole person meeting another whole person and not depending on each other to be complete. No disrespect to the guy at all but seems the time was just not right. I admire your courage and zest for life!! I'm of course said for you as I know you so long to find a healthy and positive relationship. And I pray that you will! In the meantime, keep up the good work. So blessed to see you happy in St. George and thank you for being real and vulnerable with us. You are a beautiful person with one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen. Much love to you!!🥰
I’m sorry it didn’t work out, Danna but life is so short - you did the right thing by trying it out and now onto the next adventure ❤
OMG!!!!!! I am so glad you left !!!! Listen to your gut girl you made the right decision!!! I know how badly it sucks you want that home life but that could have ended badly ! You didn’t make any mistakes .. it’s just a life learning thing! You could have dated him for a year before you learned these things about him! It would have been harder to leave and that would have been a bigger waste! Keep going girl
🤣 no winning when you prioritize men who have all the superficial stuff, like money ;)
😂😂😂 that’s actually hilarious
Trust your instincts, always!
I almost moved to sunny St. George about 4 years ago. I worked for a distribution center and put in to move there but literally a week later I break my knee at work.lol life is funny like that.
Don’t be embarrassed for doing what is right for you; don’t compromise when your intuition tells you otherwise. Keep your videos coming ☀
Dealing with frustration and having emotional control is really important in a relationship and just in general. Good for you to move on
Always be cautious when doing something new or being with someone new. Never rush things and keep boundaries. Glad you are safe and made a good decision!
Danna, at the age of 39 I would think you would have the wisdom to spend a LOT more time to get to know someone before moving in. There's nothing wrong with liking someone (even moving to their city), but how about getting a job and a place to live first. If you are tired of van life and want "running water", then find a place to settle into on your own. Listen, I get loneliness, I'm a widow, but please try to make safer choices.
And as a 39 year old woman, I certainly don’t need a lecture from anyone 😉💖💫
Though the message was delivered too bluntly, Dana it’s truth.
He was most likely mirroring you that's why you felt so comfortable. It's like falling in love with yourself because he was mirroring you to you.
The "future talk" is what is known as "future faking." All to get to that oxytocin bond with you so it's harder for you to leave.
May I suggest looking in to UA-cam channel: We Need to Talk with Kris Godinez
Yes!! Love bombing too...
The minute I saw him say "how gay" when you introduced yourself to his neighbor.....I started asking Jesus to protect you....as I was praying, got a strong vibe that you may be in trouble....no "good" man punches objects like that in front of you....usually you are next...classic domestic violence personality and Jekyll/Hyde.....they ALWAYS say they'll never do it again....SO PROUD of you for leaving and having EXCELLENT boundaries.....will pray for your healing 🙏
Bless you for prayers protecting Danna
I commend you for listening to your gut. Life is there to be experienced and I admire your courage and sense of adventure. There is really good stuff out there in the world for you, I can feel it! By keeping your standards clear, you're destined to meet that special someone. Sending you best wishes on your next adventure!
Danna stay true to yourself ❤
Dana, thank you so SO much for your kindness, you are so generous! This will go toward gas and getting me too warmer weather. I appreciate it so much 🥰💖✨ Thank you too for your support and kind words throughout this journey. It means a lot to me. Do you mind if I mention you in my upcoming video?
@@montanadanna of course Danna. 🤟🏻🌸❤️
Girl.... I just admire you so much. 💜 one of the biggest takeaways from this whole last few days of you sharing your story for me is how self confident you've become over the years and this was the cherry on top of that! Good for you for staying true to yourself 💜 Kerri
This is probably one of the best videos you’ve ever made… So real so raw honest and genuine even very relatable! I am so proud of you for sticking to your Gut you are amazing woman keep doing what you’re doing and follow your true destiny and heart
My now husband said like a week after we got engaged “we are whole people who would be fine without each other” which the timing of that comment was horrible but he was correct.
We don’t “complete each other” we are two fully formed people who could be single just and would be completely fine on our own but choose to be together. I think that’s a much healthier mindset than the “you complete me.”
Do not be embarrassed !! You’re so brave and strong ! Broke my heart while this was happening and seeing you upset !! But onward to bigger and better !! (And my son is still single) love you ❤️
Love Bombers are problematic. Good job packing up and getting out. You also look extra, extra beautiful in this video.
You did the right thing. I would think being in the first 24-72 hours of living together he would have been on his best behavior. If that's his best behavior, you are 100% correct that it's a massive red flag.
So proud of you and very glad you are safe.
Glad you listened to yourself and you are safe in sunny St. George!
How do you send money like that?
@@danabinaz3173 there is a small button near the like button that says “thanks” with a $ sign
@@1958wstewart thanks I never knew that was there 😂
@@danabinaz3173 😂😂😂 i was curious too!?!? Good to know.
Wilson, thank you so much for contributing to my channel. A will go toward a much needed wireless hot spot device. Thank you for your kindness, it means so much to me 💖✨ Can I mention you in am upcoming video?
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO ANYONE! Not even us.
But having said that, we support you 10000%!
I'm so sorry that you keep being disappointed time and again.
You are so strong and you know what you need and I'm wishing you the very best of luck until you find that person.
Until that time comes, We love you for you! Xx
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good for you. I'm guilty of moving in with my now husband quickly...but it felt right. In my past relationships, I wish I listened to my gut instantly. I'm guilty of sticking it out and working on bullshit things that I should have left. By the time I met my husband, I had been single for 2yrs, really worked on myself, gained self worth, confidence and was genuinely happy being alone. I knew it'd take one hell of a man to change that... and it did. My husband is truly amazing and so glad I held out for him. We're going on 10yrs together, 4 married... and have a 3yr old and 16 month old. You did the right thing. Never feel "stupid", embarrassed or whatever. I'm proud of you. You saw the red flags, faced them... and peaced out.
"You complete me".. and "a part of me is missing when you're gone" would honestly scare the sh*t out of me so early. Now when my husband tells me that he wouldn't know what to do without me, I know he means it... and I feel the same. He's my rock, the one who grounds me when I start to spiral...but that took years of him showing me that he'll be there for me through thick and thin. I can't stand when people say things like that so....easily? Idk. I've had guys say that to me early on... and it didn't end well. Feel good about your decision. And you'll be glad you held out for your future S.O. when the time comes. Sending lots of love 💗
-Klarissa
Proud of you!! That is so healthy and self aware of you!
Keep up the good decisions Danna. This was a tough one but the right choice. I love keeping up with your adventures and videos. So glad to see you happy and safe in Utah, even if it’s full of swingers and Mormons.
Now her boyfriend Dan the rancher and her broke up 🤔
You should never move in with a complete stranger like that ever again. Unless you’ve spent a lot of time with someone over a couple years, guaranteed, you won’t know them. Punching the boxes was a definite sign of danger. And no, women CAN’T fix men. Meeting men online is extremely dangerous. Be very careful, glad you left. Probably would’ve been better to just sleep over a few times for moving everything in. He could’ve killed you. People can pretend for a long time before their real face comes out. Thank God you are OK, this could’ve gone really bad and you don’t know anything about his actual history with women. What you are describing is the classic pattern of a man who is abusive and potentially deadly in a relationship. And yes they can be very charismatic and seem so nice, but they are alone for a reason, and it’s usually because they’re a Jekyll and Hyde. I give you tremendous credit for being able to go through the ordeal of getting out so quickly. Don’t ever go back, these people do not change, they only get worse.
Agree 100%
Looks like my comment on your last post (Speaking Out ~ Story Time #3) came one post too soon. I should have saved it for this one. Your emotional roller coaster of life saga continues. This post will bring you a lot of supportive comments. I hope you feel the love and support you're getting from your subscribers. It wasn't written in the stars after all... it was written on the wind... and they call the wind "Goodbye Ya'll."
Totally get you. Been single since 2012. I hear words that are damaging and I'm out. Especially when men say they were joking😎?
Thank god you realized quick & weren't 💯 homeless, if he treated you that way than imagine what he would do to someone actually 💯 dependent on him 🤦🏼♀️
🤞🏻 you were able to get all your stuff & you didn't forget anything, if you did... he can ship it because you shouldn't go back for him to manipulate you. Hopefully anyone in that area that matches with him knows what his place looks like & what he drives & what red flags to look for. You may save another female 💜💜💜
Danna,Diana,Savanna,Dogma, it take guts and grit to do what you did. When I said you’d know quickly, you upped the game. Faster than I had anticipated. Be happy and sit with yourself for a bit. Breathe and give thanks for the gifts you were given. A healthy body, mind, and soul. That had to be a chit show. I’m sorry but not sorry. You look happy today💕
Good for you for getting yourself out of that situation that you were no longer feeling safe. I'm glad you were able to find the strength in yourself to do what's best for you.
When I heard him say something you did was gay I knew it was not a good relationship. He sounded so immature. Good for you getting out so fast. Listen to Patti Stangers advice on Millionaire matchmaker. I'm sure he thought you would move in with clothes and you really took over his whole home. When I saw all you were moving I thought wholly cow!!
I thought the whole “gay” comment was a little odd as well!
Yeah he seemed like a total douche. Danna can do better.
@@samanthafowler2644 I don’t think she even showed who he was! How can you say he was a douche? =) the only thing that I heard him say that threw me off was him saying how gay it was to talk to the neighbor.. although I do agree that she deserves someone she feels safe with. ❤️
I'm so glad you love St. George. Please know that not all Mormons are judging you or others for that matter. We are all in charge of ourselves. No one else. Also, please know that culture is not doctrine. The LDS church is made up of flawed people who are just trying to do the best they can in life. Does it mean that there are some judgy people? Yes, but there are judgy people everywhere. So please don't hate us all.
Also, good for you for getting out of a relationship you did not feel safe in before you sucked into something worse.
Aww Danna, I am sorry but as you said, You need to feel safe with a person. Unfortunately he showed some telling signs of anger issues which is scary, been there done that for years with an abuser. He may have not ever touched you But there's other things to consider and You chose wisely girl. We're Proud of You also! Best to find out now as you know.. Big Hugs and love coming to you ❤ Stay safe hun
So glad you moved on quickly and didn’t stick around! So proud of you, Danna! On to awesome adventures in Utah and future travels. ❤❤❤
sometimes near-constant contact with a new person can makes things seem like more than they are; it creates the illusion of knowing someone really well, but you don't. i've been there before too and have jumped the gun on dating/relationships, and then felt really silly afterward when things ended quickly (and usually poorly, at that). as an aside, it is literally NEVER OKAY for someone to be taking their anger out physically like that. it's childish and, at least to me, really shows the person's emotional intelligence level, especially when it comes to something like distress tolerance and voicing feelings/working through things. yikes. plus you gotta wonder what he'd be like in a much bigger situation, if just some boxes caused that reaction. a great motto i heard yeeears ago when it comes to dating, that i still think of all the time - "not your teacher, not your mother." if you have to hold a grown man's hand through his issues, walk away, especially if he hasn't been to/isn't in therapy, isn't actively working on his issues (being aware of/noticing them is not actively working on, btw), and wasn't upfront about those kinds of things immediately.
Every woman needs to see this - whether she is a travelling an independent, self-sufficient "vanlifer" or not. What happened to you is unfortunately very common: A man "lovebombs" a woman to such an extent that she starts doubting her own instincts. Red flags always appear right from the start, but the man's wooing is so intense and flattering that she quickly talks herself out of her inner voice. He is "grooming" her to make her believe he is "the man of her dreams" she never knew she needed or wanted. It's subtle gaslighting and NEVER gets better. I am relieved on your behalf that you got out before you got so invested that you would make many compromises to justify your investment. In the end your core values were compromised. Over time you would have lost yourself.
You definitely did the right thing moving out so quickly. Living on the road helps you to realise if something feels wrong move.
You can never really know someone until you have lived with them.
You are old enough now to know when something feels wrong.
It will be summer soon and it will be easier living in your trailer.
Enjoy you life beautiful. Xx
Hi Skylar!! Omg Danna! I remember reaching out after your video about turning 40 and wanting to meet your "person". In the message I told you I felt your time was coming. I started praying that day for you and now look. YOU MET HIM!! I'm so happy for you I have mom pride! Oh I'm so excited for this journey for you!! Blessings!!🥰🦋
I don't know U & yet I am so proud of you & your decision to put yourself first & sharing your decision w/all of us. U may be sharing strength (to walk away) with someone else in an abusive situation or about to be in one. I love your honesty, definitely subscribing. 👏 brava!
You dodged a BIG BULLET. Better things to come!! One day at a time❤
Bounce like a bad check.😂😂 glad you did. You have a kind an free spirit about you, you deserve more, good you didn’t settle. Enjoy life.❤️
He didn't help you move all your stuff into the apartment? Good for you that you paid attention to the red flags. Anger is something you don't want to give 2nd chances.....one day it could be you that he is punching. He has major issues....yes, he will do it again it's a typical abuser pattern. I'm so glad you left.
Wondering the same but don't wanna pry... seemed like a dude that wanted her stuck the way his personality switch 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
You did well! That is what red flags are for.
I’m so proud of you for choosing yourself girl. 💕💕
I'm so sorry you went through this. You've been dealing with so much and being so open about it. The emotions you're going through are intense. For what it's worth, the emotions I felt going through a breakup drove me to dive into my sculpting more and, thus, the weekly sculpture videos I do. It was so hard to find a way to express my pain and emotions, and I read how Frida Kahlo would paint her pain. I don't have that kind of talent nor the talent to write poems or music. So, I'm pouring my emotions and pain into sculpting. Maybe your music writing could be a relief valve for the pain and confusion you're feeling. You keep inspiring me with your adventures.
Don’t be embarrassed. Like you said, now you know and you don’t need to drag out a long distance relationship. You did great for following your gut! Much love ❤
I know all this has run it's course but sharing all of this could save lives. That sounds over the top but its Narcissism which can turn deadly sometimes. You escaped some major trauma and ptsd. Too many of us react similar and get manipulated. Great job!!! You feeling bad is the biggest red flag. You did the right thing. You were in the Love Bombing phase so it's like your soulmate but that's the hook in the jaw. You'd spend the rest of your life trying to find mr perfect only to realize he never was...it was all a love bombing mirage.
You did the right thing, keep strong. Thank you for sharing your story. I love watching your vlogs. ❤❤❤
GOOD FOR YOU! PUT THAT EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST AND DEFINITELY TO BED! YOU DO NOT DESERVE BAD TEMPERED BOYFRIENDS! NEVER! GOOD LUCK WISHES FOR LOADS OF HAPPINESS!
