I need you to write down exactly what happened and the emotions you’re feeling right now somewhere. When the anger starts to settle, or you start to feel for him again, read it. If you’re anything like me, there’s a cycle of anger and forgiveness. I’ll be extremely and justifiably angry, and make grandiose claims like leaving him, but after being used to “letting myself be treated” poorly, my brain will slowly diminish what happened and I’ll forgive and forget.
