In many ways, I'm very grateful to have found my husband 9 years ago. I just wish he had empathy, was caring and kind, wasn't abusive, and was articulate. Hmmm, much like many people seem to be here in the Fediverse.

Alas, that wasn't meant to be, and unfortunately I've realized these are deal-killers to my happiness that thwarts me from being the best human I can be.

So looking forward to being on my own again in less than a month (with my trusty Belle girl at my side), allowing me to be the human I want to be.

I have noticed a change in myself, and it's important.

When I was insecure in myself, I always felt I needed a #relationship to be satisfied in #life and hopped from awful partner, to awful partner. My kind nature and insecurity was taken advantage of, and got stuck in as I hated hurting people.

I am perfectly happy without a partner since I learned to love myself.

I am okay with waiting for the right opportunity, as I value myself now, and refuse to be abused again.
