Here's one thing:
You'll never truly realise how toxic your relationship is until you're out of there and see it from everyone's perspective. At that time you will perceive that it was you who always wanted to go back to where it was perfect, so you denied everything you beheld and stayed with that person.
When you were seven, you might think it was daft when someone said love is blind. But now you gotta believe it is.
So let's stick this in your mind:
Be only with someone who makes you improve rather than someone who makes you have to downgrade yourself just to be with them. A person like that is never worth it to be kept. You're a priceless art, don't befoul it with paint that doesn't give you a deep colour. If they really want to be with you, they'll never let you lose the true value of your being.
