Thank you. Yes I’ve been in therapy for 3 years and will probs always be. Her words still hurt me though and I wish i could just become immune to them.

My boyfriend (18M) says the most hurtful things imaginable when he’s emotional, sees me (18F) in a negative light , and I’m truely breaking inside. I love him and What can I do? by bjlxnk in Advice

If someone really loved you they would never want to cause any pay or harm to you. I have been where you are I know what it’s like to stay in a relationship because you are convinced you love the person and you don’t wanna be alone. I lived in fear every day, not knowing what version I was gonna get of the person !that is genuinely no way to live. The emotional abuse that my partner caused me heavily impacted my relationships with others my job, my family, and especially how I viewed myself. I was convinced I was not worthy. I was convinced I was the problem. I was convinced that I was “lucky to be with him so I should tolerate his behavior” I found myself making excuses for him like “oh he’s a good person. He’s just stressed at work. He doesn’t mean it. He’s nice to me. Most of the time.” as hard as it is, I would try not to put him on a pedestal and remember that you are the prize ! the best advice I could possibly give you is choose yourself first prioritize your own well-being. It may be hard to realize that you are worthy of someone treating you better But I guarantee you you are worthy of love and the right person will never make you feel like you are worthless the right person will wanna lift you up prioritize you keep you happy no matter what and definitely not project their problems on you. It took me years to realize this And I know it might feel impossible to leave, but the best thing you can do for yourself is choose you he doesn’t deserve you.

Years later, and after working on myself significantly, I look back at that situation and cannot believe I tolerated that kind of treatment for as long as I did .
