ALL

My mind and body could no longer distinguish between a small fight and a big one, and I felt like a gaping wound that temporarily healed, only to break open again.

S. was great 99% of the time; calm, warm, funny and thoughtful. But the 1% left me reeling, making it hard to reconcile our relationship.

I looked around at the packed bar and all the couples having fun together, as my partner tore a strip off me.

The more I tried reasoning with him, the more he flipped the narrative, blaming me for his bad behaviour, to the point that my head was now spinning.
