costumeswift: Dear Taylor, A year ago, I ended an abusive relationship. The relationship started two years ago with this guy that had previously dated my best friend. Starting out, I should’ve known not to date him because he was my best friend’s ex. That was my first mistake. My second mistake was getting as close as I did with him. I told him my secrets and he laughed. He laughed and made fun of me, my secrets, and anything I liked. Unfortunately, at the time, I did not see how verbally and emotionally abusive he was. I only saw what I wanted to see. Because of him, and some other things, I became really insecure and depressed. I didn’t want anyone to know, so I acted like everything was okay, but it wasn’t. One year ago from this upcoming Valentine’s Day, he confessed to cheating through email (really,, email?). I was really sad over our relationship ending, but I also felt a wired sense of relief and fresh air. About a month later, he asked to get back together and I said yes. I realized after I said yes, that I felt really stressed out again. I told him that I changed my mind and that I didn’t want to be his fallback every time a girl declined him. Because of you, I had the confidence to say that to him. Thank you @taylorswift . I’ve finally realized what it means to lose him and find myself, and that really is everything. @taylorswift -- source link
