“Compromised my identity for love”

My ex asked me to change who I am to keep the relationship, causing a massive identity crisis

What I wish I knew
"Relationships should value who you are, not change you"
If I could tell you one thing
"Rebuild by rediscovering your passions and values, and being patient with yourself"
