We've all faced aome toxic traits in partners in some relationship. They're supposed to be warning signs but its easy to misinterpret them, what’s yours?

Could be anything from possessiveness or jealousy to argumentativeness or bossiness.

They would stop replying to any message, be overall unreachable, ghosting me when we planned a getaway at that date.
I assumed they needed space. I'm fine with respecting boundaries, even if it stings nonetheless when you miss them.

But stopping literally existing out of the blue?
How much time do you need? Days, weeks? Should I wait for you to contact me? Should we cancel this weekend?
No way to get an answer. No, nothing.
Just toss a coin and try to find out.

OP asked about stuff you ended up liking. It doesn't sound like you liked that.

[–] kurogane@lm.helilot.com 8 points 1 year ago

I didn't like the situation, but I still did it because I liked the relationship. I see where is the misunderstanding now. My bad, and thank you

That sounds unbearable, Im sorry. Any chance this person was actually married or in another relationship?

Nope, autistic burnout. Is the reason I stayed, for someone genuinely struggling.
But now I'm out, never ever again.

That's good. Hope you're doimg better.
