It is possible. I have seen it. The question is whether it is lasting. Everyone has a bad day. It is wise to realize that not all anger is directed at you. But a continued pattern is definitely an indicator. You deserve to be loved and feel safe. 🤗

@Livingwell it'd be nice to be with someone who didn't take a bad day out on their partner just because they'll put up with it though. That's what I'm most sick of. The retaliation I receive because life isn't perfect.

@ScreamingFox I totally agree. 🤗🤗🤗

It’s not naive. I’m in a relationship like that. I don’t mean that as a brag, I just mean that I wouldn’t be in a relationship if it wasn’t like that. I’m someone who would be okay being by myself. But I’m glad that I don’t have to be. I wouldn’t be in a relationship if we were swiping at each other. That doesn’t mean it’s all roses, of course there are times when we’re frustrated with each other, but we’re never cruel, and if he was that way to me, I wouldn’t put up with it.

It is possible but you’re right in that it’s probably not the norm. What’s unfortunate is many of us find it easier to not be on our game around those closest to us. I’ve been guilty of that and I don’t like it for sure.
But I believe it’s possible. It has to be.

@BillyMack I think a lot of time it's our traumas that bond us. The validation we get from being loved despite basically abusing each other, mimicking dynamics we're used too...
I fully believe in the possibility. The reality, I don't know, but I know what I'm capable of and can't let go of the spark I need to start that fire, should the possibility arise anyway...

But there's always some reason they have to be cruel. Bad day at work, someone was rude, even if it's just the sniffles, there's always some sharp edge waiting to swipe at the person who loves them most.
That's not part of a caring, healthy relationship. You seem to know what you're looking for. Insist on it.

@Northwest indeed, I insist

I prefer to be optimistic as well. Wish you all the luck in finding a relationship that lives up to your needs.

I have completely given up on it for myself but I love seeing others find love. 💖
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@DearAmbellina2113 I've given up in ways too. I can't count it out as a possibility, you truly never know what a day can hold, just won't be disappointed if it never happens.
You deserve to be loved fully. You're way more amazing and beautiful than you give yourself credit for. Nobody has shown you that. Sadly I think this happens to a lot of the most awesome women, nobody can handle our strength, independence and sexuality.
