Is it better to be truthful and risk losing a somewhat rewarding relationship or compromise for what you want.
I like this, but what is your answer to it?
I have no idea. I have cut off interactions when it just didn't feel right, when my intuition keeps pinging that something is off. I give it time but if the strange feeling remains then it's over. The cliche "It's not you, it's me." comes to mind.
And if something seems right I see where it goes, or try to with boundaries in tow. I've been in an unhealthy relationship before.. and it takes two to make it. I really don't want to fall into that rut again.
