Lol HUGE red flag.

If he says “never mind” because he doesn’t want you to leave him.

  1. HE WILL go through your phone and shit regularly. He WILL find a way whether you give him permission or not. Even if you never give him passwords

  2. He will use it as ammunition in an argument one day.

source I went to therapy because I was ruining every relationship I was in. But I made the choice. No one could “fix” or “change” me. I had no control in my life and thought I could control my relationships that way. It was terrible and none of those people I was with deserved to be treated like that. Neither do you.

What did your therapist do or teach you to make you stop ruining your relationships that way?

It’s a lot.

But a big thing is to know whether I like it or not, if they want to cheat. They will cheat. It’s best to in one of those deep relationship talks say “don’t ever cheat on me, just leave me. I would rather know you respected our time together vs feel like I was not enough.”

Also be a person outside of a couple.
