I see now that I kept asking for your attention in some desperate validation that maybe one day you would see me the way I saw myself with you; as a partner. It was easy to believe we were working when I thought I had something to fix, but then someone told me I was not broken to begin with. I waited and wasted so much time and energy working at your at your impossible process, but I can no longer be romantically employed. I love you, but I do not love the way you have me trained. I comply with your terms and regulations and never complain. You are so good at finding ways to keep me in line, but this contract you keep presenting is something I never signed.

love is not one-sided, your partner is your equal do not let them dictate your life,
