Lookback: 2 days after apology

“Apologized to boyfriend despite being in pain”

Boyfriend minimized my pain and demanded an apology. I apologized, and he had a breakthrough, but then went silent.

What I wish I knew
"He would respect my boundaries and prioritize empathy over ego"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly and set clear boundaries with your partner"
