babe, and i say this in the most respectful way possible, you prob need some therapy and work through how you feel about relationships before getting into a new one or worrying about another relationship

You should end that relationship. You owe it to yourself. You will find another person who will love you better- which is a low bar on account of the neglect and degradation. You shouldn’t just find something better for yourself- but something actually healthy and affectionate. I believe you can do that. I’m rooting for you

Thank you. I do deserve better, but it’s just scary as hell too, y’know?

Im not looking for a new relationship right now, dw. I also have a wonderful therapist. We just haven’t talked much about relationships is all. I also had a few previous relationships where things were much worse, never had a healthy one, so I’m still just trying to learn. I always do my best to learn when I fuck up, and I always embrace communication and understanding. But yeah, it also feels like Im missing crucial things to understand. Especially about not letting my needs be cast aside.

Do you mean with the whole “tolerating neglect and abuse hoping things will change with interventions” thing is what I should be focused on?
