A partner won't fix you, or at least you shouldn't expect them to. A partner is there to support you in good times and bad. A crutch to lean on when you need it. Someone to comfort you when you need it. They aren't some magic tool to correct issues you might have.

    However partner can be a driving force for you to start fighting for yourself - an external motivation. And partner can offer a boost to perceived self worth. Enough to enable you to try to fight for yourself.

    A partner can also the source of your misery and separating yourself from them can finally allow you to respect yourself.

    I wanted to argue. I really did. I hate it and I don't want to connect partner as a word to abusive fucks you mention. But I cannot as they are included. Have an updoot and know you ruined my day ;-;
