My ex-boyfriend used to jokingly accuse me of cheating so often that eventually I stopped noticing how strange it was.

If my phone buzzed, he’d go:
“Who’s that? Your other boyfriend?”

If I took too long replying:
“Damn, must be with somebody.”

Always smiling.
Always playful.
Just enough to make me feel guilty without technically accusing me of anything.

After about a year together, I started over-explaining everything automatically.

Sending photos of where I was without being asked.
Updating him constantly.
Avoiding certain male coworkers because I knew their names annoyed him.

One night we were at his apartment watching a movie when he suddenly got a FaceTime call around 1 AM.

He instantly declined it.

I remember the exact feeling I had in my stomach because for the first time, his reaction looked… practiced.

Not surprised.
Not confused.

Just fast.

I asked who it was.

He laughed and said:
“Relax, you’re becoming paranoid now.”

PARANOID.

The same man who spent two years treating me like a suspect suddenly wanted to act concerned about my trust issues.

That’s when something in my brain finally clicked.

A few days later while he was asleep, I checked his phone for the first time in our entire relationship.

There were three different women.

Not random flirting.
Full relationships.

One of them genuinely thought she was going to marry him.

Another had photos with his family from holidays I didn’t even know existed.

But the worst part was discovering screenshots of MY social media in a group chat with his friends where he mocked me for being “obsessed” with him.

One message literally said:
“She’s so scared of losing me now she reports her entire day like a receptionist 💀”

I sat there staring at the screen realizing he had slowly trained me into becoming the insecure girlfriend he could later make fun of.

And honestly?

That’s the part people don’t talk about enough with manipulative relationships.

Sometimes the damage isn’t that they hurt you.

It’s that they carefully reshape your personality first…
so your reaction to the hurt becomes useful to them too.

Also this is a show that seemed to be about mental health and they had hopper give a "Don't kill yourself" speech to a character that then immediately KILLED THEMSELVES???

[dawn @milevapop]

el and hopper’s relationship was written and set up perfectly in season 2 and they decided to ruin it by implying that hopper was replacing sara with el all along

Being a woman is being expected to be nice and have a good attitude while having 7/10 pain and blood pouring out of you.
