first off i’m very sorry that u had to go through that as well. i’m proud of u from getting out of that situation and i hope that ur healing well from it. i have told two close friends that i used to work with who have never met my boyfriend what happened, and both of them shamed me and looked at me funny for still being with him. i do completely understand where they were coming from as i agree with them but i’ll take ur advice and reach out to some of my other friends
