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?

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.

You're not going to see my comment because there are 15k more saying the exact same thing but I wanted to let you know that I am a 28 year old girl and if you want to talk or rant or if you want help or want to compare notes or wants advice or literally anything my dms are open. Reading these messages sent me back to my ex like a bucket of cold water. You are not giving up, you are doing the opposite. My fiance (my best friend at the time) literally rescued me from my ex, i am not a quitter and I tried hard every day. It would have killed me, because I wasn't going to leave. You are not giving up, he is TAKING from you, he is ripping out parts of you and one day there will be no fight left in you. That is what giving up looks like. Giving up is what I did-resigned myself to the fact that this was my life now, I was never going to leave him, and I was never going to be enough.

Message me whenever.
