The relationship is doomed if you don't.

This kind of like go on a tirade.

It seems like interesting.

Yeah, I'm curious.

I wonder if people in the comments here are going to agree with that, too, because I know where she's coming from with the like feeling and maybe not wanting to bring it up because maybe you're reckoning with, oh, is this all in my head?

I know.

OP does respond to that one.

Thank you.

I appreciate the time that you took to write this.

I'll be honest.

I'll have to leave it a couple of days to gather the courage for this type of conversation.

Right now, I just cry thinking about it.

And the person does respond to her.

I think that's sensible.

Get some emotional distance between what happened and how you feel about it.

But don't wait too long.

Otherwise, that will minimize and dilute the whole thing.

I know it's hard, but you have to put some steel in your spine.

We are treated the way we allow ourselves to be treated.

That's one of the most important lessons I've learned in life.
