Lookback: 8 days after breakup

I stayed in a toxic relationship due to insecurity and low self-esteem

I hurt her emotionally, realizing my manipulative behaviors were driven by low self-esteem and insecurity

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had recognized my own flaws earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest with yourself and seek help if you notice red flags in your relationship"
