This made me go off in a spiral of thoughts. Your writing style is impressive. Reminds me of Emma Cline, a bit.

What's the book you wrote?

I relate to this more than you know!! All of my relationships have inevitably turned out like this, no matter how optimistically they started off. Bed rotting is so real.

I "love" the way young people today (and by young I mean under 50 at this point because social media has made us all into dithering children) do the whole FUCK YOU text and then block you. There's no need to debate or dialogue or discuss; just fuck you and I'm gone.

Yeah.

At 34, I still struggle with this. Co-dependency and bed-rotting (before it was a word lol). I have an amazing man right now and I feel I can’t be what he needs me to be because I’m stuck in this cycle you just shared about. It’s a tough one to break.
