Haha... just wanted to update on this situation. I don't know why it got sooo out of hand. I realize I can be a bit dramatic sometimes. Things are ok now.

Yes, therapy is a good way to deal with getting out of a bad relationship.

The thing my boyfriend said was, "You have trust issues from your childhood and you keep me at arms' length." Cue guilt.

And then he just said all these insulting things.

It's been a rough year relationships wise. My last boyfriend would also make these little digs. He would pinch my arm and say "you'd be better looking if you just lost this inch." (I'm not overweight, he meant he wanted me to be very thin).

So I started thinking about why certain men do this. Deliberately control women.

But I finally had that lightbulb moment.

There's not always something wrong with us if we get into bad relationships. We're like atoms colliding, sometimes we will smash into good atoms, sometimes bad atoms.

But if we are vulnerable, sometimes we get sucked in.

For me I know it's half experience and half just not knowing it's wrong.

So, yeah, I am TERRIFIED of having another therapist tell me I deserve to keep being in these types of relationships.

But the only way to test it is to keep going back.

Thanks for reading and hope you all have a fabulous week.
