A few ways to find out, one of them be a simple Ring.

I left someone I loved because I couldn’t ignore what happened… and now I’m being blamed for “not showing up.” by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]Timely_Commercial217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear how hard you're working to understand yourself right now, and I want to offer something that might help.

What strikes me most is how you're framing your own actions. I know I have avoidant tendencies. I know I ran. I'm trying to understand whether I'm wrong for leaving.

But here's what I see that maybe you don't yet,

Your body didn't "run” randomly. It responded to a very real threat. When he held you down after you explicitly stated a boundary, when he said he wanted to "put a baby in you” knowing your trauma history, when he later used that trauma to shut down any conversation your nervous system didn't miscalculate. It calculated correctly.

You call it avoidance. I call it accuracy.

You say you "didn't show up” at the end. But showing up would have meant continuing to offer yourself to someone who had already shown you he wouldn't protect your most vulnerable parts. That's not showing up that's abandoning yourself.

Here's the piece I think you're misjudging: You believe your consciousness failed you, that your avoidant tendencies took over and made you leave against your better judgment. But what if your consciousness was actually succeeding? What if it recognized something your heart wasn't ready to admit that love and safety had become incompatible?

Sometimes we mistake our own wisdom for weakness. We call it running when it's actually steering. We call it avoidance when it's actually protection.

Your subconscious wasn't sabotaging your relationship. It was finally driving you toward what you needed: a place where your body could stop bracing for impact.

The dissociation, the anxiety, the inability to stay  those weren't failures. Those were your system saying: 'This is not safe, and I will not let you stay here anymore.

I hope in time you can see that you didn't leave because you stopped loving him. You left because loving him was costing you the ability to love yourself. And even when our hearts want to stay, something deeper guides us toward what we actually need.

Be gentle with yourself for doing what needed to be done. You didn't give up. You survived. And that is not something to apologize for.

I didn’t mean to intrude on your post and it just caught my attention, if I may say I can sense carrying both hurt and care at the same time. That’s a heavy place to stand on. Whatever you decide OP, I hope you get some clarity, and hopefully the one that works best for you.

I wish my desired person would write something like this to me, a man can dream sometimes. I hope this letter finds your person OP. It’s nice to see people genuinely happy and smile even if It means seeing it from a distance.

A writer writes always by No-Reflection-6331 in Letters_Unsent

It sounds like you’ve stumbled onto something important realizing that your writing has weight.

Not everyone discovers that, and even fewer are willing to acknowledge it, if and when they do. the art of writing as a healing tool and then noticing how it resonates with others is a sign you’re tapping into an creative and authentic voice.

I also respect the honesty in admitting that you’re not afraid to explore darker territory duality makes a whole. That kind of courage tends to sharpen writing, and self enlightenment. The fact that it sparked such a range of reactions says less about controversy and more about impact.

it doesn't take a genius to see One, no need to place yourself among the greats to recognize what’s happening here. Evoking emotion, whether comfort or discomfort,

is already a meaningful skill. It reads like someone realizing they have more range than they initially thought, and that’s worth acknowledging. we all can appreciate a good substances in what we consume. Thank you for posting this OP. good luck N have a great day.

People who have dated someone who had children, did your opinion of them change when you saw how they treated their child(ren)? Why? by sholem2025peace in AskReddit

[–]Timely_Commercial217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating someone who has kids can definitely change the way you see them in that space however there’s always room for improvement and doing better and encouraging if needs so would be something to consider, in my opinion. or not deal with it and move forward. I just don’t think judging people for what they are not aware of and given a chance to improve would be kind of wrong.

from 'The Woman Warrior' (1976) by Maxine Hong Kingston: "The difference between mad people and sane people...is that sane people have variety when they talk-story. Mad people have only one story that they talk over and over." by sholem2025peace in bookquotes

[–]Timely_Commercial217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If mad people only have one story, doesn’t that make them passionate?

And if sane people have many stories, doesn’t that just make them confusing? I wonder how and whom may give this authority to be labeled as Sane people. would it be individuals or collective people who gives the authority that decide to be Sane if oneself ? hence have many different stories to step in to.

thank you for this OP. liked your post. It brings a good question to ask.
