I am sorry that you have to go through this.

 

Relationships are difficult, and we have to learn to compromise on certain things with each other. But you should never have to compromise your confidence or your mental stability in order to make something work. If your significant other is unwilling to change, and not a change because it is forced, but change because it is the right thing to do, morally, mentally and socially, then he should be disappointed in himself.

 

You do deserve better, and I am glad that you have realised this. By no means do you have to stay in a relationship that’s mentally abusive. If it is fixable, then I wish the best for you and your romantic life, and I hope you can both get passed this in a correct way. But if it isn’t, maybe it’s best to let go, for your own sake. There’s nothing wrong with being selfish.

 

And, never be afraid of the things that happen in life. Things always happen for the better, and life gets easier because of our gained strength and wisdom. Problems never get easier but our new understandings helps us find the strength to overcome them anyways. So, be a free spirit and enjoy life, without fear! You are a beautiful person inside and out, and you deserve to live your very best!
