Fr!! One time my friend was talking to her bf like that and she was saying that he used to be wonderful to her and she was just waiting for him to change back to his old self. I asked her, “But what if he never goes back to the old him?” She froze for like ten seconds before saying I was right. She broke up with him the next day and never looked back and I’m so proud of her. She was making herself miserable waiting for something that was never going to happen
Okay as someone who was in an abusive relationship I GENUINELY believed he wasn’t in the wrong. I knew I was extremely upset by his behavior but he genuinely convinced me it was my failing and that he’s never done anything wrong. It’s dumb to think back on and I can’t explain why but in the moment it was impossible for me to see clearly
These comments also kinda hurt to read. I asked people “dumb” questions like this bc I GENUINELY didn’t know. All my friends and family were SO mean to me at the time bc they were annoyed by me and that did nothing but help me get deeper into the abuse bc I had to one to rely on but him
i’ve been in abusive relationships too. i’m there for my friends who have relationships like this. but after supporting and helping someone through these things, it’s rightfully frustrating to see them turn around and make the same mistakes 🤷♂️ after the third or fourth time it’s hard to feel sympathy for someone who doesn’t see to want help
