I stayed in a toxic relationship for too long

My partner's behavior changed for short periods, but ultimately he returned to his old ways, causing me emotional distress and feeling suffocated

What I wish I knew
"I should have set firmer boundaries and prioritized my own needs"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't stay in a relationship where you feel disrespected and unheard"
