What happened in your relationship that made you realize you deserved better?

1. In my previous relationship, that point came when I dreamt of being hit by a truck just so I could have a week of peace and quiet in hospital.

2. My one ex tried to convince me that Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire”, was about anal sex.

   When the song was actually written by his future wife, about her tumultuous relationship initially with Johnny.

   That is where everything started to go downhill.

3. It was more like ‘what didn’t happen’ that made me realize

4. Keeps conveniently forgetting anything I ask or remind him. I’m going to breakup soon. I doubt he’ll care, but maybe someone out there will.

5. When I demanded that I seek help for not wanting to sleep with him. I did not want sex because of how he treated me (didn’t contribute with household work, jealous and controling.. )

6. When he told me: “our relationships pretty good right? I don’t even hit you.”

   It suddenly dawned on me that anything short of physical assault he was fine with. That’s probably when I woke up to the abuse. Yelling, threats, trapping me, kicking me out of the car, leaving me in random places, breaking my stuff, spending my money, blaming literally everything on me, throwing things at me, punching the wall next to my head all 100% ok because he didn’t physically hit me. All the apologies were BS because in his mind he hadn’t done anything wrong.
