re: As a man it can be really hard to admit without looking weak

Threats like this are extremely toxic. They introduce a poison in the relationship that is almost impossible to purge. Because it makes you responsible for your partner’s emotions.

It’s a noose around your neck. But instead of pulling the lever and letting the end come, it’s used to torture you.

And it works, For a while. But eventually it loses it’s effect, and just becomes something you roll your eyes at.



Nothing you can do can help them. Because until they fix the flaws in themselves they’ll hold you hostage.

And what it really is is an indicator that you should have ended it long ago. There’s never going to be a good time when you live on the gallows.
