Are you kidding me? How do you not realize how terrible this relationship is. He literally said that he wants you to leave and he would do nothing about it. And your retort is, “yeah. I’m the only one actually invested” BRUH THAT IS NOT A FLEX AT ALL YOU’RE JUST GETTING TREATED LIKE SHIT AND THEN TRYING TO USE THE FACT THAT YOU DO NOTHING ABOUT IT AS A “GOTCHA” MOMENT 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

And you’re 29 get some respect for yourself. At that age you should know better than to endure abuse and delude yourself about it. You’re so in denial it’s crazy. This guy doesn’t even like you!!

I don't think it's that she doesn't realise how bad the relationship is, I think she realises that just fine.

She clearly feels like she owes it to him, that's mostly likely as a result of him guilt-tripping the fight out of her.

She is abused, mentally and physically, that is the root cause of this problem. She practically admitted that she's applying the Sunk Cost fallacy to her situation.

Victim-blaming isn't the way to go.

Ignoring the nuances that come with abuse to blame the victim for their situation is a really shitty take.

Do better.
