I stayed in a toxic relationship for too long

My partner's obsession with looksmaxing and perfectionism controlled my life. He'd switch personalities during arguments, interrupt me, and make decisions for both of us. His online behavior, including reposts of depressing and disturbing content, made me feel insecure and unimportant.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew the red flags earlier and left the relationship sooner"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be aware of the signs of a toxic partner and prioritize your own emotional well-being"
