I want to touch on her language and feelings.
This breaks my heart 💔

'I was afraid of letting him down'
'I started crying....like a loser'
I was worried I annoyed him and I stared reassuring him'
'when i got home i felt so used & disgusted with myself'
'and the worst part is. he isn't looking for anything serious'
'I feel like we should be dating, i am so heartbroken'

'I can't view this situation objectively'
☝️This is the most self aware comment.

I want to hug her and help her.

Firstly, this was coercive R word. Full stop.

I believe her confusion, feeling guilt, wanting to please him, wanting him to want her, wanting to be his girlfriend, stems from trauma from her past or a dysfunctional upbringing.

She feels confused, disgusted with herself, used by him but wanting a relationship with him.
She feels more heartbroken than violated by this man.

If you relate to her feelings, no shame in that. AT ALL.
So many of us relate to her words, as that was us at some point in our lives:(

But please STEP AWAY from dating and into therapy.

If you come from childhood abuse, a dysfunctional upbringing, toxic parents & family, severe neglect, have poor people skills (you can't read people well and get easily used), sheltered life, low self esteem...
you are more vulnerable to predators, manipulators and people who force like this.

They sense our discomfort and know with pushing they can force us to do things. They know who to pick, they know how to push, they know how to ABUSE.
This is their expertise.

You are not a bad or stupid person for experiencing this.
This isn't your fault. You shouldn't have known better.
They are the piece of s**t.

~You can learn to recognize when you're emotionally dysregulated and uncomfortable and step back.
~You can learn to spot manipulation and abuse.
~You can learn to say to yourself, 'I'm about to cry, I feel embarrassed and confused about what is happening and pause and breathe.

These are all skills that you can learn.
I promise you. I did

Please learn these skills and protect yourself the best you can. ❤️

We've mistaken longevity as the measure of a successful marriage.

Here's a different way to look at what makes a successful marriage (or relationship) and why the end of a relationship doesn't mean you've failed.

can we normalize making a registry for your birthday instead of only making them for weddings and baby showers? because when it’s my friends bdays it would be so much nicer to click on their amazon registry and send a gift that they actually want right to their doorstep

one of the hardest struggles in existence is between a girl who has just wrapped herself in a blanket and the thing she needs that is somehow on the other side of the room

people NEED to get out of their small, close-minded towns & educate themselves beyond what they were taught growing up… it’s okay to have your own views and opinions. it’s okay to change.
