I love my partner, and I know they love me too. But loving someone doesn’t automatically make the relationship healthy. Sometimes their behavior feels toxic. They can be rude or dismissive, and when that happens, what hurts most is that my feelings come second to theirs. Instead of reflecting on how they affect me, they focus on justifying their actions. We disagree on many personal things—how I dress, how I do my makeup, and who I spend time with, especially friends of the opposite gender. These things matter to me. I don’t want to give up what makes me happy just to keep them comfortable. When I stand my ground, they see it as disrespect, even though it’s simply me choosing myself. I understand feeling uncomfortable, but that doesn’t give them the right to control me or be angry at me for living my life. This is my body, my choices, and my headspace. Ive been upset any cryiung alot lately and they dont seem to care. its become a "norm" for me to cry. They js got used to it ig.
