2 years ago I was in the worst relationship of my life. We were together 3 years, in those three years I was manipulated into believing that the abuse was because I deserved it, if I had done my job as his companion he wouldn’t have to “correct” the behaviors. I didn’t want to leave him because I believed him when he told me no man would love a whore like me and I should be grateful that at least he did. He broke my self esteem lower than I thought humanly possible.

As of today I have a new relationship, I had the courage to leave an abusive relationship and let me tell you what I found in it’s place.

-a man who builds me up and doesn’t tear me down

-a man who ask about my hopes and dreams and tells me how we can achieve them together instead of a man who tells me they’re hopeless and I should settle for something else

-a man who welcomes emotions and comforts me when I can’t be strong instead of a man who puts me down and calls me weak when I cry

-a man who sits and plans the names and nursery’s of our future children with me

-a man who will stare at me with no reason and when asked why replies “I just love you so” or “how can you be so cute” instead of pointing out my flaws

-a man who calls me Sunshine everyday instead of a man who calls me a bitch

-a man who makes me laugh uncontrollably and unbelievably happy instead of a man who makes me cry and wonder why I was never good enough

-a man who loves me unconditionally and makes me the happiest that I’ve ever been

I am proof that life can get better, just stay strong and have courage💕 I feel truly blessed to have found someone I can call my soulmate and spend the rest of my life with. He understands my past and knows that I still have some hesitations when it comes to our relationship and that because of my past trust can be hard to give but he’s ever so patient with me and proves to me everyday that I have nothing to worry about.
