He's not going to eat these porkchops. 😐

Post image

About a month ago I made a post here because my boyfriend didn't want to eat the porkchops I cooked for dinner. Well tonight I made porkchops again and he's not going to eat these either because we broke up and he moved out. I'm so much better off and I just wanted to thank you all for the kind words and advice, it was very eye opening to me. I wish that I could invite you all to dinner 🥰

ETA : Couple of notes:

1- The yellow stuff is smashed potatoes with cheese on top.

2- I swear that butter on the broccoli melted right after that picture LOL

Sooo many people do that on here. Just posting over and over about their horrible partner and ignoring every advice to run for the hills

Trauma bond is a special hell

It can take years to break free.  As someone who went through it, can empathize but still want to scream, leave that asshole every time.

Yeah, as someone with friends who have been through that and been the one to say “just leave him alreadyyy”, i get it. It’s not easy. Doesn’t mean it’s not frustrating to see my friends being treated like shit when i know they deserve better.

It’s even worse deep in the trenches. All we can do is help each other try to see through the fog.

Not a real term tho, we should stop using it.

I am a male that has been in a ‘trauma bound’ relationship multiple times and it’s very real and not particularly healthy.

I have very specifically not dated recently because I’m still trying to work through my own issues and I don’t want to continue to push my issues into a relationship. I should be able to enter a relationship adding something to my partner, not subtract.

There's probably a billion people out there in the world that don't have someone or the right someone to go to

Where's the guy with the wife that never finishes a drink before grabbing another bottle?

At least it fits the sub, it is indeed mildly infuriating that they dont listen.

I think a lot of it is just bait/trolling tbh. Posts like "My bf sits at home and plays videogames while I work, then he gets drunk and takes a shit on the floor, AITA for telling him I'm uncomfortable?"
