After a while, you realize “this isn’t what I want to keep going through”, and you just stop.

My favourite therapist alerted me to my pattern of choosing/attracting/accepting controlling men like my father. They were initially loving and attentive, which felt caring and safe. But then, inevitably, the attentiveness would turn to stifling micromanagement. I made the mistake one last time, with an even more angry and controlling partner. I finally realized I’d rather be alone than be in a stressful relationship that doesn’t actually meet my needs. After a time out, and a necessary “list” adjustment (no controlling, angry partners) I was able to recognize the red flags and choose a considerate, respectful and highly compatible parnter. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
