To women in relationship, have you ever made a mistake that you thought your partner would never forgive, but forgave you and love you? What was the mistake?

1. Yes I have. I was trying to understand their addiction and trauma, but I guess I didn’t word it well. I felt so bad. I remember sending them their favorite pastries to say sorry. They forgave me. My friends said I worded it well but my partner didn’t think so. However, tables have turned and there is no apology yet for their behavior. I also am not sure I can forgive for how rude and disrespectful they were. I don’t know if they have the emotional intelligence to understand their actions and behaviors.

2. I had severe trust issues and would rarely ever trust him. I have been working on them, gotten better thanks to his support. Instead of leaving me, he understands what I’ve been through to react that way and is patient with me. Love him!

3. After being SA’d I was an absolute fucking mess, started self harming and trying to kill myself, my mental health was shit, I flinched from being touched

   Part of me really worried my girlfriend would leave me, she didn’t sign up for taking care of the broken me, having to check me for new cuts and deal with my shit

   But thankfully she stayed with me, she’s an amazing person and she helped me more than I feel like most people would have, she got me into therapy, tolerated that we didn’t sleep together for most of a year because I couldn’t deal with being touched

4. My partner and I are different nationalities. I’ve had some ignorant ideas and made some unintentionally ignorant comments. He has educated me and not held that against me.
