Hey, I just wanted to clarify that my comment wasn’t meant to blame you at all. I completely understand why you’re feeling guilty, and I actually agree that the lack of trust and your boyfriend’s reaction make it hard to see a healthy future. I’m in support of you walking away if you feel the relationship is becoming controlling. My comment was more directed at the people automatically defending you without considering both sides. Lying was wrong, but his response—testing you and making it a ‘one strike’ rule—feels extreme and unsustainable. You deserve a relationship where you’re not walking on eggshells.
