Re: If you've ever had and left a shitty relationship, did you ever get over it and want to try agai

I don't rule it out completely because I lurk on r/TwoXChromosomes and a surprising number of women report the same thing - that once they break up or get divorced, the exhaustion and depression they thought they had experienced a drastic decrease. They underestimated just how physically and mentally draining it was to navigate a bad relationship with a bad partner, and how awful it was making them feel every day, sort of a frog in boiling water situation. Once the bad partner was gone, so was a lot of their problems. In addition to that, the number of divorced women who marvel at how much easier it was to clean their house and keep it clean after their husbands left is both enlightening and depressing.

But for myself, once I'm free, I'm not eager to dive back in. I know that my partner looked like one of the Good Ones initially, he acted the part, he was on his best behavior. When he began his downhill slide, I worked my ass off trying to prop him up and give him grace while he struggled to do basic, everyday things that he expected me to do for him. I spent years putting in the effort, while he just enjoyed his free ride. I won't do that again for anyone.
