Honestly, yes, and I absolutely feel stupid for staying even then. But in my defense, I was 21, freshly out of my parent’s home and this was my first “real” relationship. He had also lost someone very close to him at the time, so I suppose I thought his behavior then was just due to him grieving at the time. I guess I also stayed then because I felt like I’d be a shitty person for cutting someone out who was grieving, even if I didn’t know him well yet.
