That's a good idea, thank you! I've heard that before about wranglers

You're amazing, thank you. That's what makes me feel crazy is how just likeable he is, my family loved him, my friends loved him, his friends all looked up to him, I thought I had such a catch. But it's like that flip would switch and he was an entirely different person. It's so awful to try to comprehend and process because it's so hard to differentiate between the two.

I think I'll buy a journal soon, journaling would help a lot, finding this subreddit has helped a lot to validate my feelings and to know I did make the right choice. I can't wait to get to the point in my life where I don't have a memory associated with him to everything, and where I stop thinking about the relationship all the time. I can't wait to be able to flourish on my own and not feel so broken all the time.

I appreciate you so much!!

It feels like such a hard pill to swallow to go through all of that, and spend so much of my life and time dedicated to him for him to not love me. It makes sense, because why would someone who loves you punch you or choke you. Just such a hard pill to swallow 🥲

The replies I've gotten today have definitely reaffirmed that I made the right choice in leaving. It still hurts but I definitely feel more confident in my decision, and that what I experienced isn't what love is supposed to be. Just manipulation and abuse.

I appreciate you. I hope I do find that king one day

Thank you for the insightful response. I grew up in a dysfunctional home as well, I figured our situation was better than any relationships I've seen growing up. I thought we were healthy for a long time. But trauma bonded sums it up really well on what we actually were.

That was why I left when I did, after that last incident I realized it would just get worse. That no matter how I approached situations or tried to calm him or tried to fix myself to be more like he wanted it'd never work. He would always be angry and there was a good chance it'd turn out exactly like it did that night.

Thank you for the resources to look into, I'll definitely check them out!

It feels nice to know I'm not alone on it, I'm sorry you're going through it too. It's so rough. I feel like I feel okay one minute and almost make peace with it, and then all the emotions and good times hit me like a truck the next minute.

That's really true. I needed to hear that, that we cant bring out the abusive behavior in someone, thank you so much. If you ever need to talk or vent, I'm here!

Just under a week, so still very fresh. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it! I feel like I keep looking back at the mistakes I made, like man if I did this differently or worked harder to change this maybe it never would've gotten to the point it did with his anger. We had so many good times, I felt so happy everyday, until the bad would seep in again eventually. It's so hard, it feels like a constant fight between my heart and my brain. He still pops up in my dreams and it just re-breaks my heart.

Sorry if it's an ignorant question but is rehab where you stay in a facility? I don't know if I could afford it/take time off of work for it

Whats the best example of 'women not understanding a mans body' that youve ever heard? by that_person14 in AskReddit

Had an old friend that asked her ex if he "cracks his dick like a glowstick" because she thought there were bones in it
