“I’m a gay woman, and for me at 31, I’m just now waking up. I’m realizing I’ve been treated like absolute shit by women I’ve been involved with for the most part — and that’s on me, for allowing it. But when you genuinely don’t know any better, you don’t even know you’re being treated like shit. Now, no matter how much I may like the girl, if I’m not respected, I’m more willing to walk away. No mind games, no insults, no silent treatments.”
“I told myself if a woman does this, especially early on, I have to stand up for myself. I have a hard time standing up to women, I just do. I’m getting better, though. I think also because we grew up in a society where we are told women are more emotionally aware, attuned, intelligent, and mature, I always second-guessed myself in disagreements, because what if I’m wrong? So I ended up apologizing when I shouldn’t have, I let their narrative win, and only months later did I realize I had been manipulated. I’m exhausted, frankly. How hard is it to find a woman who can control her temper, respect me, and make coming home feel like a safe space emotionally?”
