Hi Anita,
Thanks for your reply. Throughout our relationship, he’d say he would change. He’d always swear he would do better about communicating and other things. I always believed him. Now, throughout that 10/11 years, there were breaks and times we didn’t speak because he’d just stop talking to me. I won’t lie. I held on and put up with him because of my low self-esteem. I have an autoimmune disorder that has disfigured me and because I am disfigured in my genital area, I thought no one else would ever love me, so I stayed. I voiced my concerns, but I always took him back and when he didn’t change, I suffered in silence.

I loved him, but I put up with emotional abuse because of my condition.
