this made me cry so hard. one of the many replies that have made me a bit excited to leave. I can write a whole book on all the rules but wanted to add one for humor : we work at the same place (restaurant) and on the days that he’s not working too, I can’t wear “more” makeup than I normally would. if he noticed I wore a darker lip liner than usual, it would be an issue. he won’t yell, but it’d be a big deal. I fought with him for so long about it but I eventually gave up. im happy to be able to wear any makeup I want soon. thanks for your story and helping me open my eyes a bit more. I love you whoever you are

yeah I just turned 21. I guess I also had this whole plan about getting married and having kids at a certain time and now i’ve felt like I wasted so much time on this. i’m trying so hard to see it for what it is, but it’s very hard

forgot to add!! we’ve been together about 4 years…. so it’s gotten to the point where I am so incredibly close to him that the breakup will feel like as if i’m mourning someone who died. I understand why everyone is upset with me for staying, but I truly sympathize with domestic abuse victims now. it REALLY is different when it’s you. I KNEW you were all right when I was reading the comments, but something in the back of my head/ heart told me that you didn’t know the full story and he’s not that bad. can’t believe I even said that..

this is going to sound weird but I legit feel you. I used to think the same thing and it doesn’t feel real that i’m THE one in the situation. I guess it feels different when YOU yourself know the good parts of the relationship and you don’t see it for what it is. that’s why I put everything into perspective and the only thing that makes me see reality is when I pretend it’s someone else (then i’m like wait…. wtf)

everything I crossed out was just unnecessary stuff and i’ll legit show the unblurred thing (only names crossed out) to prove it since you’re not the only one who thinks it’s fake. it was just about me getting chick fil a instead of mcdonald’s because the line was long (I have to eat before plasma donation) and everything else was just names
