When I make up my mind that I don’t want you, you decide you want me. Every single time! Why don’t you just learn to trust me and then maybe this would never be an issue. Tomorrow would be the 1 year anniversary of the biggest mind fuck of a relationship I have ever dealt with. I’m so relieved to finally put my strength to use! You suck! You’re blind! Your abuse is finally over (in my life). Walking away is the hardest part. I’m going to be alright. I’ll be great. Thanks for nothing, sucker! —Better Off

When it comes to backdoor love I think Antoine de Saint-Exupery, pilot, novelist and poet, said it best:
“Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”
Words to live by.

Anyone can walk away from an abusive relationship. Congrats OP. Most just accept the daily abuse and make up excuses as to why they don’t leave.
hey Comandante Esposito, you just blew my mind man ! Seriously … Great quote.
bitteness will only eat at you, if you let it. walk away clean, don’t look back, and swear to yourself, that you won’t be so dumb again. but know what o.p., you will be, so will everyone else in same boat. it’s hardwired into our brains to be used and abused sometimes.
Ohmygosh, I’m so sick of relationship bitches. Like seriously, everyone just stop getting into them. All of your problems will be solved ;D.
May I interupt this discussion to humbly submit to Comandante Esposito the following: (ahem)
Backwards Love, (the title of this Bitch), and Back Door Love, (as stated in your response), are two, TOOOOTALLLLYYYY different things.
Thank you,
Carry on
avast0,
You’re right. Backwards love would be looking in opposite directions the way dogs do, but I think the sentiment is the same since the two lovers in question would definitely not be “gazing at each other” but looking outward together in opposite directions.
You have to admit that old Saint-Exupery had a way with words.
lol..well played Comandante…well played indeed. That dirty ole Saint.
Yeah that is a great quote, Espo.
My advice for the OP is: “The power in any relationship lies with the party who cares less”
Very sad, but very true.
