Let's normalize telling people, 'It seems you don't have the capacity to love me in the ways I crave and need, so let's not continue this, I deserve better,' and leave it at that.
“But you survived” NO I disassociate, like A LOT. My heart drops when someone raises their voice. I shut down very easily. And I'm far too observant. I always feel like a burden. I isolate often. But yeah, sure, I guess I survived.
I’ve tasted going back to an ex, and I’ve tasted trying to fix a relationship before it breaks off. I HIGHLY recommend focusing on your career, praying to God every day, and going to sleep before 9 PM.
Trust isn't destroyed by one big betrayal.
It erodes through small inconsistencies.
A forgotten promise. An unanswered message. An excuse that doesn't add up.
Eventually, people stop believing your apologies and start believing your pattern.
