Yeah, this

did he ever make you feel like you were asking for too much just by wanting loyalty? like… was this the first time he said something cruel, or was it a pattern?

when someone says something like that, it’s not about you. it’s about their lack of integrity. what helped me was writing down every time i felt small in that relationship. it reminded me that leaving wasn’t weakness—it was survival.

i feel this in my bones. my ex once said i didn’t cheat but i thought about it every day. that sentence broke something in me. it made me feel like love was a punishment he endured not something he chose. i spiraled hard after that. you’re not alone in this kind of pain.
