Most of all, we shouldn't be ok letting ourselves be treated poorly. The trouble is a lot of us have an easier time standing up for hypothetical others than we do ourselves.

Because if they do it to you you can bet your ass your children would be subject to it too. If they're doing this fuckshit a few months in, imagine how they'd be after decades of marriage... The early stages are supposed to be their best foot forward.

Who holds far more financial and social capital/influence of the two. And why do you think that is. Abuse requires power imbalance. It requires control and it crushes the spirit of those under the abuser’s foot so they struggle to get away. Abusers are often charismatic and image-aware.

Look also at WHO IS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM WHOM. (Survivors run.) Who “make amends” or sending third parties over to smooth their own bs over? Overwhelmingly it’s abusers who try to “repair” a relationship so they can repeat the cycle that’s been going on for ages AGAIN.

When he pretends to want a serious relationship but can't so much as commit to planning one date a week ahead of time adkslfjdsf i hate it here you guys

Plot twist: I do not want commitment either because u suck, and you using me for validation was me using u for validation right back :') (shit still hurt tho, back when I actually cared, and back before your carefully crafted perfect persona was believable in the honeymoon phase)

A group of hackers found literally thousands of reddit users in an army base in the usa. Which absolutely does not surprise me bc once in a while u get bombarded with negative comments of the same type which make no logical sense while preying on emotions. Im sure professional trolls exist

They’ll try to make you jealous by flaunting their roster to you and keep you a secret and meanwhile you’re supposed to constantly show your devotion? What in the whole go to therapy my diddly dude

You are begging someone to hear you whose entire personality is built around denial gaslighting and blame shifting then wondering why you can’t get through to them. It is a waste of your precious time and effort. Love yourselves.

The worst part is television brainwashed me to see myself the same way when I stand up for myself to shitty dudes I date, or shitty dudes in my family. The crime became my indignation and upset for being objectified and dehumanized and exploited, instead of those verbs being the crime.
