Relationships can really take out a lot of people and it's hard not to end up resenting someone later down the road. I also think that we all settle sometimes because of fear of being lonely. That's what I've done in the past.

[alienjiive]

We have to learn the hard way sometimes unfortunately. No more settling for us bb!!!

[girl_overboard]

This is why I have intimacy issues, I'm afraid I'll be stuck in an unhappy relationship the way so many people are.

[cbluechicken]

I'm in this stage of my relationship. He's not doing anything awful or terrible but I'm thinking "is this something I want forever"? I'm leaning towards no but then we have so many moments that i'm like, oh wow yes. It's hard.

My divorce was final allllmost 2 years ago. I talked about it here in the beginning but essentially he blindsided me. It was traumatic af. But I honestly now that I'm through it I'm so much stronger and ready for anything. I used to be full of anxiety and depended on my ex so much but that's gone now and I feel like I can take anything that comes at me

[friarsfire]

So happy to hear about your ultimate story of triumph! ❤️

[lizrocks]

It definitely didn't happen in a vacuum like I put myself into therapy and did the work. Plus, everyone was so kind- friends and family (mine and his). I was always told he was the only person I could lean on and finding out that it wasn't true was a big thing for me

[suggestivepeach]

It’s great to hear that his family and friends were kind to you even after everything that happened!

[alienjiive]

Losing yourself in a relationship sucks. I hated the feeling of questioning who I was and what I wanted from life, and allowing someone to make me feel bad about myself because my mindset didn’t line up with his. I said so many bad things about myself when I was with my ex that I just believed were true even though they weren’t. Never again! I’m glad I learned my lesson.
