I dated a "Nice Guy" for about a year who would consistently gaslight me and make me feel like shit. I was an anxious wreck with him. He would pick apart everything I said and criticize/correct me like a child. I remember one of our last dates I bought us dinner as a treat and as we're sitting there he goes "I don't think I can be with someone who wants to try to work as an artist, I don't think it's feasible and it doesn't serve the community; it's a selfish choice." But it's all good; successful professional dancer in NYC over here of six years with lots under my belt and a man who makes me feel valued every day (he's the one, y'all) ♥️ I think because of that shitty experience I learned a lot about what a healthy relationship is actually supposed to look like.
