From my experience most men who served disrespect know they crossed the line and use being in a bad mood or alcohol, autism as an excuse to behave this way.
You think you are being the bigger person by letting them apologise but you are not. You are just making them feel good and when they did their part they will continue with where they left off. They are not sorry for disrespecting you, they are just sorry you made their mask slip.
Don‘t bother giving him the benefit of the doubt, or assume things will
be better when you talked things out.
The only thing that bothers them enough about their own behaviour is when you give them no access to contact you And move on without a problem.
Its better to regret part ways with a man who hurts your feelings than regret not doing it sooner.
Block and Delete sister. If you don’t then it’s like keeping trash in your house until the smell becomes unbearable. You don’t keep garbage lingering around for long so do the same with garbage in human form.
To make it easier, realise that men like to play stupid, they know that if you did that then they would steer far away from you. They know what they are doing and it happened because he wanted to. They only talk about forgiveness and not being a fan of a cold shoulder when it suits them only.
If only my pick-me friends who keep running back to their shitty exes would realize this!
Ahem!
Who wants to date a guy who will treat you like trash when he is in a BaD mOoD?
Yeet and delete once the mask drops.
Absolutely, all of this. I’m 6 months free of an emotionally abusive relationship, and sadly it took me 4 years of letting him hurt me and then apologize, over and over, for me to finally leave. It was a never ending cycle, and it made me feel smaller and smaller each time I forgave him for the unforgivable. It’s embarrassing that I let myself fall for all that bullshit, at 42 years old no less. Regardless, I’m so fucking grateful to be free and to finally see my own worth. Don’t ever give them the benefit of the doubt, they know when they’ve crossed the line, they’re not stupid, and they know the damage they’re causing. The best advice I never listened to in those 4 years, was that if you have to explain basic human decency and respect to someone, just walk away. They already know, they just don’t care.
This right here is exactly why I blocked my problematic male relative
