at least you showed up authentically. at least you moved with honesty. at least you were direct with how you felt. at least you communicated openly and maturely. at least you tried. at least you never reciprocated their cruel behavior. your actions are a reflection of you.
Cheating isn’t the only bad thing that goes on in relationships…having a partner that continues to do something that triggers you after you repeatedly communicated that you don’t like it THEN gaslight you like you’re wrong and your feelings aren’t valid is one of the worst!!!!!!
