He made me beg to come visit me (we were long distance) and when he did, would only spend an hour with me and then hang out with his friends

When he blocked me for days just because I tried to explain my situation to him about the reality he was a part of.

When he told me to be a version that he liked me to be as instead of accepting me for me.

I should have known the relationship was toxic when I was the only one willing to compromise time and time again; giving so much of myself with minimal effort on his part. It was only ever on his terms, when I brought it up he would gaslight me.

I should have known my relationship was toxic when I always apologized for my mistakes, but I had to beg him to see why his actions were hurtful.

He was completely comfortable with letting me cry and be upset at him and didn’t do a thing to compromise or make things better

Not supporting me emotionally.
Not actively listening to me.
Not Wanting to talk.
Calling me names.
Making me feel insignificant.
Shouting at me.
Blaming me for everything.

The list goes on.
My fault for hanging around – but my self esteem was 0 so didn’t want to leave.

I should have known the relationship was toxic when I had to beg for effort or for words. I would cry and he would ignore me, or fall asleep on the phone during important conversations. I wasn’t a priority. He was never “in the mood” to talk, but could always get freaky.
