Cannot be any other way at this point because I cannot tolerate being treated like that again. Nor can I trust her to so much as talk to me w/out trying to control or "win".
Whenever there is a "competition" in a relationship dynamic it's very very toxic and bad. The good thing is you have learned what you will NOT put up with in the future and that is a great thing. After all of this madness, you have come out on top learning what is good and what is bad. You can't put a price on that.
