For better or for worse?

Have you ever been with someone that was pure pain to hold onto?

Whether because of the way they are, or a circumstance that the relationship created or experienced?

What did you do?

It wasn’t always this way with my girlfriend. She is fearful avoidant and flipped pretty abruptly about 2 months after we moved in together.

Now, she breadcrumbs.

For me, being anxiously attached, it’s painful. But I think she’s worth it, especially because we can do the work and improve things.

But I want to hear from others who have experienced this. Did you stay? Did you leave? Did it crumble?
