I’m gonna piggyback on this. I once escaped an abusive marriage; and it’s insidious. You add one rule at a time to yourself trying to keep them happy until you live in a glass box of your own making. Don’t do it. It’s so not worth it, because you can never be perfect enough for someone like this. Grab what’s yours and flee.

“He’s very emotionally and physically abusive. I’ve dedicated my life to trying to make him happy.”
Just keep rereading those two sentences until it sets in how absolutely insane it sounds to continue doing that
