This is the most succinct description I have ever heard. This exactly why I stayed so long.

I'm not interested in anymore fixer uppers, projects, childhood stories, men with unproven potential, broken💔 people or driven men wanting a trophy.

Yep. We see the parts of them that others don't. Unfortunately, some abusers do this in order to manipulate us further. When it comes down to it, the trauma we (and our abusers) experience isn't our fault, but it's our responsibility to recover from the effects of that trauma, in order not to traumatize others.

[Gardenpath]

The abuser is lying to keep you hooked.

[childofYah]

Bless you my friend may the most High shine his light upon you

[kaystephens]

Yes. It's confusing when you see other people getting the "best" parts of them and you don't.

[obieobrien]

Hoping the promises they make will work this time. Fear of reprisal if we leave. Lack of courage due to constant gaslighting.

[sweetrose]

I did just what you are describing for 20 long years

[patrisha]

Amen Sister, But its a lesson we ourselves need to work on, because you relate to them they are blessing from God to show our own flaw in ourselves, we don't understand itat frist but we are that much stronger, we love, not pity others, to get comfort, much love.

[iamgoddessoflove]

If you are not sure whether you’re in a toxic relationship or not, ask yourself these two most important questions. How has this relationship affected my self-esteem? How do I feel when I am around my partner?

Perfectly explained and then when I finally left I realized that they were still broken and they're going to tell everybody else that comes in there like the same story it's almost like a little kid in preschool who knows they're doing bad but don't care because some people don't believe it and I let it go and I realize it's okay for me to live my life peacefully without the narcissist or abusive toxic person ❤️💋❤️😂

[halfbreedlife]

But they like it...they don't want to change

[shannongrant]

Yes... They want to create that bond. It's crap.
I dont buy broken stuff anymore😂
Don't sell yourself short again either.

[kimberlychilstrom]

Yep ..i knew this. Mine started to share some vulnerable things ..but they use it as BAIT ..BECAUSE ThEY KNOW BY SHARING JUST ONE LITTLE BIT ..THEY HOPING IT KEEPS US on THERE HOOK to look at them as victim .. WHILE THEY GO PLAY ..THEY'VE PLAYED THIs SAME SCENERIO IN REPEAT SCENERIOS WITH COUNTLESS OTHERS HOWEVER ( .LIKE A SCRIPT) ..WHEN THEY SEE IT WORKS . THEY USE SAME ONE AS OPENER TO EACH CONNECTION ..BUT INSTEAD OF CONTINUING TO OPEN UP ..THEY FLIP SWITCH INSTANTLY AND GO BACK INTO CLOSED DOWN MODE . ITS CALLED CONDITIONING US TO ACCEPT LOWER STANDARDS MORE AND MORE ..ITS CALLED "breadcrumbing " intermiient good and bad behaviors is suppose to hook ..victim..so (Now) instead when you meet someone ..in FUTURE watch fir this technique ..its used( purposely) .to snag the supply .

[abigailnatas]

Nope...I had a hard time leaving because my abuser controlled the finances and made it next to impossible to leave without help. Until one day I was able to leave and I was no longer his prisoner.

[Platinum]

This is the only reason i heard other than isolation and financial / but this is the biggest thing it’s weird what i have to do to grow feels like learning to be an asshole

[marbles]

I'm still in my toxic relationship not knowing how to leave. I have no where to go. So I feel trapped.

[OneEyedreaper]

Can’t even lie that was my exact thought process while dating my ex… I truly just wanted to see her become better then even me if possible but in the end she choose to hate me and disrespect me not cuz she was hurting but because I wasn’t.

[angeleyes]

This hurt me because it’s so true but I’m still staying

[subatomicrealm]

What if you’re the broken one and doesn’t want anything to do with the one who wants to fix you doesn’t make any sense
