Hey everyone! I recently broke up with my boyfriend for almost 4 years, and I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. For the biggest part of that relationship, I felt like I was ignored to the point that I had to make clear that his behavior was bothering me and my already existing severe anxiety and depression became unbearable because he was holding me back, causing my anxiety and depression symptoms to thrive. I couldn't eat to the point I probably developed an eating disorder (I haven't been diagnosed with any), my sleeping schedule was a mess and and anxiety attacks were a daily thing, at least once a day. And, even though he was seeing my symptoms, he was stating that that "psychotherapy is only for sick people" and that I didn't need to go to a therapist because I was "fine" but, fortunately, I didn't listen to him and went to a therapist. Also, he was commenting negatively on everything I did, I said and I was, the worst being that the LGBTQ+ people are p@rverts, even though he knew I'm bisexual and it took me years to accept it. He was manipulative, closed-minded, jealous of all my male friends, he always wanted to know everything I was doing, showing me that he didn't trust me. His negative comments on my family problems were also devastating, making me feel even worse, but, even though I was telling him to stop reminding them to me, he ignored me. Anyways, it took me almost 4 years to finally see how toxic he was (a lot of other things happened but these were the worst) but I think it's better late than never, lesson learned. I just hope that my next partner is going to accept me the way I am and will not try to change me to his/her advantage.

P. S. I'm sorry for any grammar/vocabulary mistakes, English is not my mother language.
