only this time it may be more difficult for you to notice what they’re doing
your friendship with them will be used against you if you ever decide to go public with your story
the energy you invest in taking care of their feelings (because an abuser’s feelings always come first) is energy you should use to rebuild yourself instead
they will try to confuse you and make you feel guilty. they will use your compassion, don’t fall for it
THEY chose to abuse you, THEY should deal with the consequences alone
they don’t deserve your friendship
just don’t
they won’t come to their senses and change for the better magically just because you are not dating
it can actually get even worse when they realize you’re not coming back together
