We've all faced aome toxic traits in partners in some relationship. They're supposed to be warning signs but its easy to misinterpret them, what’s yours?

Could be anything from possessiveness or jealousy to argumentativeness or bossiness.

Yep, same.

I know it's not healthy, but in particular when I feel a bit unstable myself, having someone else be reliant on me, especially emotionally, helps feel me good about myself. And it also anchors me since I have a "job to do".

But it's not healthy, I know. And before you say "get a pet", I do nowadays. 😅

Maybe I need a pet. I've been working on myself for like 10 years and all I needed was a pet!
