I have learned a lot from being in these relationships and I would never put up with it again

Everything eventually ends but at least you've had a good time with most guys you've been with (at least, you're still friends with most of them so I'm guessing that you guys didn't end it terribly all the time)

 

[Lady Deathbane]

I've been in so many shitty relationships, but I wouldn't exactly say I regret most of them because I definitely learned a lot from many of them. It's just a select few that I really fucking wish I just didn't have...

 

[Solid Snake]

you have to take what you learned and hold onto that without blaming yourself or allowing their mistakes to ruin future relationships. It is hard, trust me, but you will get through it some day

And that's just one chapter of your life, really. Things like those end because it didn't work out, but someday you do find someone it works with and that'll be your ending chapter init

I was with my ex for five years. We started dating when we were in high school. He graduated before me and got his own place, and things were still fine. I moved in with him a few months before I graduated, and that's when everything started

 

[Lady Deathbane]

Thanks Brit and Indy. That's some really sound advice.

 

[Solid Snake]

did the drugs start to make him change?

 

[Solid Snake]

I have seen that happen with someone I used to be friends with in high school. her boyfriend started getting hooked on drugs and then started hitting her and abusing her

 

[Black Wizard]

Probably not, because he rarely did anything. Sank their teeth into me though

 

[Black Wizard]

I just think having me all to himself made him realize what he could do, and I was pretty much powerless

 

[Solid Snake]

he was a control freak then

 

[Lady Deathbane]

I'm hoping I can get over this emotional rut. I'm not sure I'll ever get to the point again where commitment doesn't scare the shit out of me.

 

[Solid Snake]

life long or long term commitment is scary to everyone though, you aren't alone there. but take it from me... never let fear decide your fate. Living in fear is agony.

 

[Indy]

Eh, with the right guy, it'll all be fine. You gotta build trust up, it's just hard for you to imagine that right now because you haven't built trust towards anyone
