Let me tell you something nobody wants to say out loud. You aren't losing your mind and you aren't difficult to love. You are just exhausted from trying to build a home inside a person who keeps tearing down the walls. If you are asking yourself, Am I in a Toxic Relationship, you already have your answer, but your heart is still trying to negotiate with the facts.
You’ve been living in survival mode for so long that you’ve forgotten what peace feels like. You wake up every morning wondering which version of him you’re going to get. Will it be the man who makes you feel seen, or the one who looks right through you like you’re a stranger? A loyal woman's love is a powerful thing, but it was never meant to be a life support system for a man who refuses to breathe on his own.
This isn't on you. You didn't break this, so you can't fix it. You’ve spent months, maybe years, trying to solve a puzzle where he keeps hiding the pieces. It's time to stop looking for the solution in his eyes and start looking for the truth in your own GUT.
