Yes that’s why i never wanna hear that shit about “my grandma and grandad were together forever/marriages used to last” YEAH GRANNY WASNT ALLOWED TO HAVE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT OR GET AN APARTMENT ON HER OWN. SHE WAS A PRISNA!
some things don't go back to normal, even after an apology. once you've seen how someone can hurt you, you can't unsee it. you can forgive, and even laugh together like nothing happened, but a part of you will always remember how it felt, and that changes everything.
