Absolutely agree. And the thing about it is, at least from my experiences + observations, there is a part of the woman that recognizes there’s an issue, and another part that either feels as though it’s normal/acceptable/expected, or that seeks to fix/solve/change it.
It’s pretty powerful to finally take responsibility for what was always there (or rather what was always lacking) in these relationships and allow ourselves to deserve more. Demand more. And resolve whatever it is that draws us to them in the first place, whether that be a behavioural pattern stemming from our childhoods or simply long-held belief systems.
Either way, I agree with you that it’s dangerous, serious, unnecessarily painful and way too prevalent to not be discussed more/at length.
