Eve's Dilemma

Over the months friends have commented about how my relationship with my boyfriend is toxic. I didn't fully realize till today when I tried breaking up because It's exhausting on both ends. I made it worse. Now he is more possessive of me and shelters me more. He tells me to only trust in him and honestly, Im starting to do just that. He's not even manipulating me and I feel safe with him. He makes me happy and safe. I tried venting and making friends recently but as it turns it out I was being used. I keep being used. I don't get it. I'm sorry if I haven't been the friendliest lately I'm trying to mantain positive but if this keeps up I think I'll quit communication altogether. Speaking of my boyfriend I want him now.

It’s not toxic per se. There’s many factors to it and only you and him know how your relationship works but I guess friendly insight is always helpful. I’m not going to waster your time or mine with the usual sermon because I’m sure you’re aware he’s doing you harm when he’s telling you he’s the only you should trust. The consequences of that are obvious. most people do wrong in lying to you or faking that they’re trying to help you with your issues and they’re only trying to force the relationship into a downhill slope only for their benefit. If you’re happiness is not hindered with and your mentally, physically and emotionally well then I doubt there’s no reason for you to leave. As for the feeling you get when people treat you in such way as much as it hurts and draining it is it’s a form of experience. this helps you to no longer depend on anyone and be able to know who trust and when to trust them. It’s probably redundant but it’s some insight I thought I’d share. If you ever wanna vent don’t hesitate to HMU :) again don’t close yourself out to communication it’s not always bad and you’ll find good and genuine friends. I won’t give much insight to your relationship because I’m no one to do so but yeah I’m sorry for the long paragraph but maybe it’ll help or maybe not idk
