We've all faced aome toxic traits in partners in some relationship. They're supposed to be warning signs but its easy to misinterpret them, what’s yours?

Could be anything from possessiveness or jealousy to argumentativeness or bossiness.

    Part of me enjoyed them making every little decision for me. I think it's why I ended up in that situation in the first place.

    I was burnt out and just didn't want to think anymore, they came along and just controlled everything. For a little while it was nice.

    But once I started getting better, they didn't want to relinquish control and it was hard to escape.

    After 2 years I did escape, but I had to relearn what my likes and dislikes were. They had done such a thorough job of deciding everything I had forgotten even little things e.g. if I liked chinese food, or if that was just their preference.

    Part of me liked being love bombed. Through therapy I've been able to understand that this part of me is the traumatized child who desperately needed love.

    Yelling and angry arguing. I grew up in an environment where everything is under the surface and behind your back so it felt like emotional honesty and made me feel like I could trust her more.
