Lookback: 1 year after breakup

I stayed in a toxic relationship

My ex exhibited avoidant behaviors, including quickly moving on and cutting me out of social circles, while also criticizing me and blaming me for the relationship's problems.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had recognized his avoidant tendencies sooner and set boundaries earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't settle for a partner who makes you feel bad about yourself and prioritize your own emotional well-being"
