But how do I know if this is just me trying to run away? And how can I be vulnerable to a T who will never care beyond a paint by numbers sense? It feels like my risks are just expected instead of appreciated. idk
There is something about hanging in there and staying *in* it until you get over this hump. You'll learn something - and grow from it. You may let go of some expectations about relationships in general that aren't helpful to you. You might also chrystalize some things about relationships that really are important for you. In any event, ideally, you don't want to leave until you feel "clear" to leave without feeling unresolved pain.
