oh jesus christ stand UP for yourself, tell him to kick rocks, and make the tension interesting at least bc what is this (also pick a fucking uploader why are yall triple uploading)
Trust me, it is easier said than done! My ex's family is a big part of the reason why I divorced him. They emotionally abused me for years. We constantly fought about them and he never stood up for me.
But his family is very religious and his mom is a hard-core narcissist. My ex didn't even know how to stand up for himself.
Then our relationship hit rock bottom and some very bad things happened. I finally reached my breaking point and left him.
He had a toxic childhood, I did too even though it wasn't super obvious. We started dating in our early 20's. We didn't know what the fuck we were doing.
Standing up for yourself is not always easy, specially when you are raised to take a backseat to a narcissistic parent or you are a girl raised in a misogynistic household and you end up being a people pleaser and are taught to always put a man first.
This! I know someone who was(i think still is) in that situation. I still feel really, really bad when she cried in front of us after we told she should stand up for herself(her husband's family are very, very judgmental. She grew up alone). She said she really tried but it was hard as it's them vs her. At that point, we wanted to interfere but she said no as it would just make it harder for her. We lost connection after that :((( i still see her in her social media with her kids.










feels massively uncomfortable just leave? or yell at him how you feel? why are we fucking? and why are we dressing this blatant abuse as ābdsmā girl, you just wanna choke him.
