What made you not give up on a relationship, despite the red flags? How did it go/it’s going?

I had known him since we were toddlers, inseparable, best friends etc. It eventually led to dating, but I feel like it was our parents pushing us together. Looking back, I should have accepted him for whom he grew into and not who my memories knew of him. People change as life goes on, which is fine, but that doesnt mean you have to like who they change into.

I didnt give up on him despite such pretty bad events eg. extreme/irrational jealousy, trying to ‘forbid me’ from going to university or training.

When he eventually hit me that was that, done. I knew the guy I had loved all throughout childhood and teens was gone.
