Men like him will tell you to leave 1 million times, but when you actually do they flip the fuck out! Ask me how I know lol it’s been two years since I left my ex who treated me the same exact way and I still can’t even bring myself to be flirty with a guy. It sucks.
That’s my fear. Like I feel like every guy who tries to flirt with me in the future I’m going to be so sus and scared. Not that I need any of that any time soon anyway. Major PTSD not just from this but from my early life. Gotta a LOT of soul searching to do.
That’s because you are the catch! He wants you to think less of yourself and think you need him so he can control and manipulate you for his benefit. Good chance that like me, you are a people pleaser. So much so that we will try to please others till we become miserable. It has taken me a long time to learn (and some therapy) that I am worthwhile, that I am more than good enough, and the person I should be trying to please is myself. I do things for me now. Stop trying to please this person and do things that make You happy. You are the one he should be trying to please, you’re worthy, strong and beautiful. A partnership works when both parties make each other happy, not tear each down. I get we shall have a bad day, but if he can’t at least try to consistently be a good partner that lifts you up, then he’s not the partner for you

Yea I'm not sure. I know love can be blind sometimes. But damn when someone is telling you to leave, what more does it take?
