How have you discovered that the grass is in fact greener on the other side?

1. I met my current partner when I was with my abusive ex. I felt really guilty because I developed a crush on him and was trying to suppress it. A few months go by and I get an escape from my relationship because I caught my ex cheating. It was a huge relief because I was miserable. Pretty much immediately hit up my crush and he instantly was treating me 100x better than my ex ever did. It was surreal to have someone actually be kind to me and want to spend time together. We’ve been together 5 years now.

2. Yes. But that is because the side I was previously on was awful.

   Relationship and work / job I let myself be treated badly and taken advantage of.
