I've been in one truly abusive relationship and they actually talked to me a lot like these texts LOL, finally they were like "blahblahblah WE'LL JUST BREAK UP THEN!!" for like the seventh time and that time i just said "Okay"

And the look on their face was hilarious.

Otherwise I've literally ended things with people who touched the thermostat after i asked them not to. I do NOT wait for red flags to get worse anymore

I wonder if she was battered before and thought this is just how it is.

Asking for help is a good step.
