relationships

when you divorced or separated after a meaningful relationship, what did you promise yourself?

i promise i will never put up with anything i am not comfortable with

lmao yeah it's so hard 😅

i legit let my ex tell me and convince me i was avoidant and pushing her away because when we had an intense conversation i'd want a couple of hours to settle my emotions down before immediately engaging in normal conversation "everything is fine now" behaviour and physical intimacy (part of learning what i need to self soothe properly post-autism diagnosis!) 

so silly. i am not avoidant. i am 110% anxiously attached and get overstimulated easily. she was just toxic and emotionally abusive and insecure lmao

i promised i would never let someone convince me they know me better than i know myself

In the middle of a breakup over here…

It might even be a little too early to start making new promises to myself, but the first one that comes to mind is this: to listen to myself more. To not mistake desire or hope for reality. To recognize the signs as they come, instead of only when it’s already too late.

Not sure if this makes sense to anyone else…

your promise is spot on 💯

and i promised to stop & make a u-turn if i ever catch myself ‘adjusting’ - by stripping away bits of who i am - to accommodate the other person’s comfort

I promised myself I would respectfully and with grace stand more for what matters to me. People-pleasing reduces not only your agency but your partner's too, because you aren't showing up as your full self. Agency is increased for both.

My promise was to always listen to the little red flags instead of waiting
