You used to believe that love was supposed to feel safe.

Now, you're lying alone in a room that no longer feels like home, surrounded by dead flowers, expired food, and the remnants of apologies you know will never mean anything. Every bruise carries another promise that he'll change. Every apology leads back to the same cycle.

He hurts you.

He regrets it.

He begs for forgiveness.

And then he does it all over again.

You know he's broken. You see the emptiness behind his eyes, the guilt he refuses to confront, and the parts of himself he tries to drown in alcohol and self-destruction. A part of you still believes that if you could just understand him—if you could love him the right way—you could somehow save him.

But love was never supposed to cost you this much.

He can't seem to let you go, yet he can't seem to stop hurting you. He demands your affection while pushing you away, begs you to stay while making you desperate to leave, and twists your feelings until you no longer know where his love ends and your suffering begins.

You've spent so long trying to survive his version of love that you've forgotten what yours was supposed to look like.

And now, after one final breaking point, you're faced with a choice:

Do you stay and keep hoping he will change, or finally walk away from the cycle that's destroying you?
