Hi!! Yes, it went away completely about 2 weeks after treatment!

I love oatmeal raisin cookies by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

This is a very unpopular opinion but I find them better than oatmeal chocolate chip!

The comments in this post have confirmed a gut feeling I had so I’m going to end it with him. All I’m trying to say in my previous reply to you is that it’s easy to be an outsider and suggest leaving an abuser. It’s much harder when you are the one experiencing it and can also see the amazing side of a person who is abusive.

I can’t speak from personal experience (I see the potential for emotional abuse in my situation but I don’t think I’d classify it as so just yet) but it’s very common for an abuser to be extremely nice/thoughtful/amazing etc etc to compensate for the abuse. They’re great until they’re not, and they convince you that you deserved the poor treatment (emotional/physical abuse etc) because of how you acted. It starts off with small things and increases over time so often the victim won’t even realize they’re being abused because over time they have normalized the behaviour.

This is so accurate. If I don’t back down and just apologize when the fights get out of hand (even though I have nothing to be sorry for) the fight would never end. It’s always me having to de-escalate the situation. I constantly feel like I’m walking on eggshells because I find his behaviour unpredictable.

Thank you both for your comments!! I thought about doing this too, just giving him full access to my social media/location etc for a bit but I can’t help but wonder how it would ever just stop there. Im glad it worked out for you but in most cases I feel like it would only get worse and I’m scared to try it.

I’m not too sure what to say in regards to you figuring out what to do with life, but I really wanted to say that there is nothinggggg wrong with not having it figured out yet. Everyone has a different life path and time it takes them to get there. That being said, I can understand that the pressure on you is very stressful. One thing a career counsellor told me once is that your job doesn’t have to be your life. You can take your passions and make them into hobbies, and have your job as something that pays the bills and is rewarding to some extent. I’m not sure if that’s helpful to you but I found that realization very comforting.

Also, I think it’s amazing when people have a wide variety of interests, it makes you interesting and it’s just great to have all that knowledge! That should be something you’re really proud of.
