This makes those shitty boyfriends look way cooler than they deserve 😅
Gosh, it’s so difficult sometimes, isn’t it?
I was stuck in a relationship for 15 years. 15!! The amount of cope and sunk cost fallacy I engaged with is astonishing looking back at it.
Once I could finally break free, it was hard to believe how GOOD life was!
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is right now.
Fifteen for me, too. I really need to know that life will be good because right now it’s bad and i don’t want to keep going
Fortunately I was only in my bad relationship for four years, but now that i’ve been out of it for a couple years I can confidently say that it does get better ❤️
Unfortunately it takes time
I did 11 in an abusive marriage. It really does get so much better. 🫂
There’s a lot of work to do with unpacking and healing, and the path will have rough spots, but give yourself space and grace and have patience with yourself.
It really does get better. I promise you that it does get better. Sometimes it has to get darker before it gets lighter, but the sun always rises. You matter and you deserve love.
Even though I knew deep down I had to leave my ex-husband, it felt very surreal and difficult to stay on that path until I was finally out for good. But holy shit life felt so much easier when I did. I was super poor, a single mom, and living out of my friend’s spare bedroom. It was still so much better.
You are loved. You matter.
Thanks. Our situations are different and im still pretty skeptical, but we’ll see i guess. No way out but through
Difficult relationships are difficult regardless of the specifics. You’re always welcome to vent and seek advice here <3

Same, but with my terrible, transphobic ex-wife. Two years clean as of last May and I’ve never been happier 😎
especially when there’s like so many girls you could date instead,
