You spend a lot of time apologizing.For some reason, you always feel like fights are your fault.

They never take the blame themselves.
Your self-esteem drops significantly.Before you started dating your person, you considered yourself strong and independent.
But now, you arent so sure of yourself.
You spend a lot of time questioning your opinions, your emotions, your memory, and your worth.
Your persons constant backhanded compliments and silent treatments have taken a toll on you.
You spend most of your time disappointed.Sometimes, your person promises you things without following through.
Other times, fun nights are ruined with intense fights.
Whenever you experience a little bit of happiness, it gets taken away rather quickly.
Your relationship is a roller coaster with a million little ups and downs.
You start to lose your sense of self.Your person always gets their way.
No matter what, they end up on top.
They pick road trip music.
No matter what the argument is about, theres never any compromises.
Your opinions slowly stop mattering.
You cover for them with friends.Whenever you retell stories about fights youve had, you censor them.
You verify you dont say too many negative things about your person.
You confirm they look like a better partner than they actually are.
They trick you into thinking if you really cared about them, you would do what they asked.
You might become manipulative yourself.You might start telling little white lies to avoid setting them off.
You might get sneakier about your behaviors so you can feel like you have a little bit of freedom.
You might end up manipulating them back in your own way.
Either way, youre wrong in thinking you cannot leave.
it’s possible for you to always leave.
you’re able to always make the choice thats best for yourself.
