I used to think of you as somebody who would never, ever hurt me

I used to think of you as somebody who would never, ever hurt me. You were my rock, my safe haven in a world full of chaos and uncertainty. I trusted you with my heart, my soul, and my deepest fears. I believed that you would always have my back, that you would never do anything to intentionally cause me pain.

But as time went on, I began to see cracks in the facade of our relationship. Little things that I had brushed off before started to add up, creating a pattern of behavior that I could no longer ignore. Your words became sharp and cutting, your actions cold and distant. I found myself walking on eggshells around you, afraid to say or do anything that might set you off.

And then it happened. The moment that shattered my illusion of who you were. The moment when you lashed out in anger, saying things that cut me to the core. The moment when you turned your back on me when I needed you the most. The moment when you showed me that you were capable of hurting me in ways I never thought possible.

I was left reeling, trying to make sense of what had happened. How could someone I trusted so completely turn on me like that? How could someone who claimed to love me hurt me in such a cruel and callous way? The pain was overwhelming, a deep ache that seemed to seep into every fiber of my being.

But as I began to process what had happened, I realized that the fault did not lie with me. I had done nothing to deserve the hurt that you had inflicted upon me. It was a reflection of your own insecurities, your own fears and doubts. And while it was painful to accept, I knew that I could no longer continue to put myself in harm's way.

So I made the difficult decision to walk away from you, to protect myself from further hurt. It was a painful choice, but one that was necessary for my own well-being. I may have once thought of you as somebody who would never, ever hurt me, but now I see the truth. And I will no longer allow myself to be a victim of your cruelty.
