Thanks for sharing. I really felt your pain and the emotional arc you experienced. I always take away from these stories how toxic the culture is around gender that it primes people to submit to unhealthy, one-sided, and abusive relationships. It sounds like you broke through the cycle and are in a much healthier place now. Though it was painful for you, the self-knowledge you gained is invaluable.
